SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION SYMPTOMS: PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE (PID), YEAST AND TRICHOMONIASIS
PID: The most common symptom of PID, or infection of the pelvic organs, is pelvic or lower abdominal pain. There may also be discharge, spotting of blood between periods or after sex, pain with intercourse, and heavier than usual periods. The color of the discharges can range from clear-white to yellow-green, and they may be thin or thick. The systemic (whole-body) symptoms range from mild to severe,- severe symptoms include fever, chills, and nausea.
Trichomoniasis. A thin, diffuse yellow-green discharge is common with trichomonas infection. Trichomonas often causes irritation and itching of the labia and vagina, and there can be fishy odor as well. There may also be pain with intercourse because of the significant irritation that can occur.
Yeast. The discharge caused by a vaginal yeast infection is often thick, white, and clumpy, and it is sometimes described as looking like “cottage cheese”; however, it may be thinner in consistency. Usually the labia and vagina are irritated and itchy. The irritation can become severe and can cause breaks in the skin.
