What causes the white-ish yellow vaginal discharge?... And what should be done to treat and avoid it?

I recently returned to my boyfriend from a sex-free 6 months trip.  A few day after we had sex for the first time in a while i noticed the discharge with an embarrassing odour. What causes the white-ish yellow vaginal discharge?... And what should be done to treat and avoid it?

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of trichomoniasis. The characteristic symptom of trichomoniasis infection is a heavy, frothy, yellow-green, fishy-smelling discharge from the vagina. The infection can also cause discomfort during sex, vaginal itching, pain when passing urine and occasionally stomach pains.

It is diagnosed by pelvic examination, swabs of the discharge and their culture sensitivity. Treatment is by metronidazole (oral and pessaries). My sincere advice is to consult a gynecologist.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
