    Yes. It could be vaginitis.

    What is vaginitis?

    Vaginitis is described medically as an irritation and/or inflammation of the vagina. Vaginitis is a very common disease affecting millions of women each year. The three most common vaginal infections are bacterial vaginosis (BV), candida vaginitis (yeast infection) and trichomonas vaginitis (“trich”).

    What are the signs or symptoms of vaginitis?

    Vaginal infections can produce a variety of symptoms, such as abnormal or increased discharge, itching, fishy odor, irritation, painful urination or vaginal bleeding. When you have vaginitis, you may have some or all of these symptoms. If you have any of these symptoms, discuss them with your doctor or nurse so you can be tested.

    What causes vaginitis and how common is it?

    Vaginitis has various causes. It may result from bacterial infections, fungal infection, protozoan infection, contact dermatitis or even an allergic reaction. Vaginitis affects millions of women and is one of the primary reasons women visit their doctor. Trichomonas is sexually transmitted, but other vaginitis infections are not usually sexually transmitted.

    It sounds like you never actually got rid of it in the first place. Even if the symptoms go away, you should finish all the medication. However, you should see a doctor. They have stronger medications, and could answer any of your questions. Also, if you are sexually active, you could be passing it back and forth.
