Hi There, At the outset vaginitis or vaginal infection presents as three different ways; 1.bacterial vaginosis, 2.thrush (candidiasis), and 3.Trichomoniasis. Most often I see patients getting confused between these three and ask me similar questions like you have got. Bacterial vaginosis is caused by a bacteria whereas thrush is caused by fungi. So, the treatment for both are different which could be given either as oral tablet or vaginal tablet. Thrush presents with curdy white discharge and the treatment of it alone will not have effect on bacterial vaginosis which presents by green color discharge and fishy odour. However, these two can differentiated by a simple lab test with a microscope. I guess, your doctor would have considered these difference and would have had given you the right treatment. If you are still in doubt, ask your doctor to do the lab test and get it confirmed. I wish you a speedy recovery, If you have any doubt don t be hesitant to ask me. I am here to help you.
