Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and chlamydial infection are treated with antibiotic regimens according to guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (Workowski, 2015). Vulvovaginal candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis can also cause symptomatic vaginal discharge during pregnancy. Treatment recommendations for all these are briefly reviewed and interwoven within the specific topics of this chapter.
