Conditions
Trichomoniasis
Like all sexually transmitted infections, trichomoniasis is relatively common and is usually spread by having unprotected sex. It affects both men and women, with symptoms tending to appear 5 to 28 days after exposure to the infection. However, men very rarely present any symptoms when they are infected, and approximately 50% of women present no symptoms at all. But if symptoms do appear, then women can look forward to soreness, inflammation and itching around the vagina; a fishy-smelling discharge that may appear thicker, thinner, frothy or yellow or green in colour; pain or discomfort when passing urine; discomfort during sexual intercourse; and pain in the lower abdomen. Men can also experience pain after urination and ejaculation; thin white discharge from the penis; and similar discomfort during sexual intercourse. Trichomoniasis is usually treated quickly and easily with an antibiotic that, if taken correctly, is at least 95% effective. But let’s be honest, it’s probably easier to just wear a condom.

I occasionally wake up to a very itchy penis. Well… itchy AND a burning sensation.
When i pull back my foreskin i come across an AWFUL fish smell and either a creamy white fluid or the dried up remnants of it.
I also have what appears to be a series of warts or lumps along the length of my penis which ive had for about 4 years now before i was sexualy active.
This discharge has only been present since about 6 months ago…

Hya When having sex it gets really sore especially when my partner wears a condom. Could anyone help me please.
i have white/yellow discharge every day, it has a horrible smell to it aswel. do you think clydomel would work for me? if so, where would i get it from? ive had swobs taken but everything appears normal. this is causing me alot of stress.
My 11 year old daughter has thick green/yellow smelly discharge and although the GP had a swob test (which I carried out myself as my daughter wouldn't quite let me go near her) the GP couldn't find anything wrong and said it could be natural occurances. I'm seriously worried about her and i've told her that we will go back to the GP this week and my daughter can carry out the swob under my supervision. Any help as to what it may be?
hya i get some pains whilst having sex but i am new too the whole thing really.. i do get quite alot of discharge but it doesnt smell could i have this xx
I have these things ever so often. It comes and goes by its self, but i have only had 2 sexle parteners and it started before i even had sex. Is it posible that i jsut keep hurting it during sexle stuff?
