Non-STD Infection
Candidiasis
Candidiasis or “thrush” is usually caused by a fungus called ‘Candida albicans’. The organism is found in many body sites and is an innocuous passenger most of the time. Women usually get thrush in the form of a vaginal discharge and/or itch around the vagina, whereas men tend to get a milder form of the disease under their foreskin. It is very common and often occurs without sexual transmission. Treatment is simple and is usually provided in the form of creams or tablets, however recurrences are very common.
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
Bacterial Vaginosis is probably the most common cause of vaginal discharge, but it is not well understood. It is often described as an imbalance in the types of bacteria that inhabit the vagina, although the cause of BV is more complex. The main symptom is a very strong odorous or smelly but thin vaginal discharge (the smell is often described as fishy). Most people think it is not sexually transmitted even if it can be triggered by sex. Men are not affected by BV. Many different species of bacteria can cause the disease, and treatment is usually with an antibiotic called Metronidazole. Recurrences are common and troublesome to women who suffer frequent episodes.
Ureaplasma Urealyticum
This is a very common bacterial infection, a type of mycoplasma and like chlamydia that grows in the cells. About 30- 70% will be infected. In most places it is not classified as a sexually transmitted disease because it is common in the general population and most infected people do not show any symptoms, so we call it “Sexually Transmittable Infection”. In contrast to some common STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are bacteria that should not be found in the human body. However, Ureaplasma urealyticum can also cause complications similar to chlamydia and gonorrhea in the body, such as pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.
