Hi,
The white discharge with itching you have suggests long running Trichomoniasis infection. It is not responding to treatment. The infection occurs in sex partners simultaneously because it is sexually transmitted so a simultaneous treatment to sex partners for sufficiently long time becomes essential for its cure.
You need a physical examination by a gynecologist to ascertain degree of severity of infection, followed by specific treatment to both sex partners. Chronic infection needs repeated courses of medication with complete abstinence till the infection is controlled in both partners.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
