The only way to diferentiate yeast, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomonas infections from each other is to look at a sample of the vaginal secretions under a microscope. One reason for the increased incidence of yeast infections since medications to treat yeast infections became available without a prescription, is that many women are treating for yeast when they have either BV or trichomonas. BV and Trichomonas do not respond to yeast medications and vice versa.
