Trichomonas is the answer here an increase in th ph of the
vagina in women makes women more succeptible to infection,
The predominant organism in the vagina Lactobacillus keeps the vagina slightly acidic and inhibit the growth of organisms but when
the ph is increased the organisms grow. Tratment is metronidazole.
