okay I dont know why I keep getting yeast infections. I have gone to my doctor and he has confirmed thats what I keep getting, he gave me this pill that is to keep the yeast under control. well it worked for a year and now it is coming back! I have a very foul odor like an onionish smell and very thick white discharge that looks like the cottage cheese for a yeast infection, but then on the very tops of my vagina lips I get this tiny little cut from the top straight down to almost the top of my clitoris that hurts and wont go away and I notice it only semi starts to go away when I shave the hair off of that area. I do clean down there very well! I have Vagisil to keep the ithcing under control. have wipes for that time of month and anytime I feel it needs to be cleaned down there from sweating or anything else. I am a little overweight and am trying to loose weight because I think part of it, is my big thighs always making it a bit sweaty down there. I just read that some tips of sugars may be part of why the yeast gets out of control. But I dont drink soda or eat that many sweets as I am trying to loose weight. I mainly drink water and some organic juices. what can I do to make it go away and help get relief!?! dont say over the counter medicines because I have done the yeast infection things, last about a week of relief then back and I also to AZO Yeast pills that I stopped for a little bit that seemed to help but never cure. any suggestions? thanks!
also its not a sexual disease eithe was checked out and only have one active partner in my 22 yrs
I am on birth control right now. but I started having these problems at 15 years old. and I didnt have sex till 19 because my mother thought you could only get it from having sex. I dont have any tight clothing and my panties are breathable as tight clothing was a suggestion for it being present.
I have had my blood tested for everything, the only thing they came up with was a little too high cholestral
I had it bad before the birth control pills though. so it cant be those.
only have a shower, so I dont lay down in a tub.
I will look into that website! I just have tried so much its driving me mad!
wow I might really do that diet and try the Azo pills still with cranberry pills. all the matter of remembering to take them. still if anyone else still has any ideas please add them!

After using a 3-day over the counter treatment, how long should you wait before having sex?

My infection was rather mild, it didn’t get bad at all and I started the treatment as soon as I noticed any symptoms. Yesterday (Tuesday) was my last application of it. I feel no symptoms currently, but I know you should wait for awhile before you are sexually active.

I’m going to visit my boyfriend this weekend– do you think it should be safe by then? Or should I wait it out even longer?
it was a monistat 3 day treatment.

I just recently got over a bad yeast infection. Yesterday was actually the first day I finally started feeling better. I tried having sex yesterday night with my boyfriend for the first time in about a week and a half and we couldn’t do it because he couldn’t even fit inside me. It was like nothing was giving or my vagina was extremely inflamed/swollen. This has never happened to me before. Anyone know if yeast infections can cause vaginal swelling even after they have been resolved?

I just got past having a UTI and now i have a yeast infection which i believe both came from having sex for my first time. A friend suggested the garlic idea to fight the YI…any advice?

Sorry may be a lil bit graphic in advance :S

I’ve bever had thrush or a yeast infection so far luckily (i’m 18) but i have a feeling something is wrong "down there" and i don’t know what to look out for? The last week i’ve been a tiny bit itchy inside my vagina, nothing unbearable but i don’t think it’s normal, nothing outide, also if (sorry to be graphic!!) i open up it looks quite red inside my vagina, well the beginning bit that i can see. I’ve had less discharge than normal too and i’ve recently noticed the smell is a bit stronger than normal i think.

If it’s a yeast infection, who do i get rid of it? Is it over the counter or do i need to go to the doctors. Do i need to stop having sex with my boyfriend , if so for how long?? I’m seeing him tommorow night and haven’t seen him in a while! We’ve used protection so don’t think it’s a STD, but i’ll get checked anyway tuesday!
There’s nothing wrong on the outside, it’s just on the inside, should i buy over-the counter stuff or wait to see my doctor tuesday… busy tomorrow!
What about if we use condoms… it safe for him than?

Ok so.. I’m a 21 year old Male. I’ve had this awesome penis infection thing for almost 3 months now and this is how it began.. The week i broke up with my stuipid ex i was in feeling pritty down depressed and shit i dont know if that has anything to do with it but yea that was on the tuesay and i was going through all hell all week like i never have had before trying to sort things out and wat not.. on the friday during the day i felt a weird feeling inside my penis it was odd but thought nothing of it… the days goes i come home talk with the ex and we officially split blah blah. that night i went out with the boys hit it hard drugs and alcohole while having this increasing penis pain i related it to past times while on drugs it being hard to urinate so i didnt thing much of it at all. the next day my penis is really sore like never before i had a play around and had a look at it and my whole phead was really RED and SORE and SMELLY I’m guessing the drugs lowered my immune system and the rash broke through.

Instant paranoia.. i thought i had caught an std of my ex. (i had a bloodtest for stds on the same week we broke up cause i found out she slept with someone else a few months back- all resaults came back negative). then i remembered that the last time we had sex which was the previous weekend something funny and odd happened – while we were having intercorse she complained about it being very painful, kept having sex then i had to go pee… i went to the toilet turned on the light and i looked at my bloke meat and i yelled ‘WTF!’ there was hair all over it like long hairs.. it was in our friends spare bed so we dont know how long or how the hair got there if it was hers or yea.. just dont know. the whole weekend she could not walk properly cause of her pain in her secret spots, by the end of the weekend she was ok but i complained about a little itch during the week nothing wild just extremly mild discomfort under my forskin. I’m not saying these experiances cause my problem i’m just giving out details to try understand wat could of happened.

Ok back to the weekend of my awesome thrush. after my weird symptoms i went to see a doc the next day to get my resaults from my blood test everything came back negative and i’m due for the 3month HIV test in 2 weeks. i told him about my condition he had a look and diagnosed me with candida game me cream ‘Hydrozol’ and gave me antibiotics cause he said i might have ‘early signs of UTI’. The cream helped heaps the pain went the rash went, the pain inside faded after the 5-7day antibiotic. then boom a week later its back inside pain is not wild but discomforting i left it thinking it would just go away if i drank heaps of water. about a month later i went to see my actual doc told him everything and made be do a midstream urine test resaults came back negative. then he prescribed me Nizoral 30 yeast infection course and Mircodantin 10day with another 10day repeat just incase my prostate is playing out or something. first week on the pills i felt much better but then for some reson halfway through my second course on macrodantin shit gets even worse and i could feel pain in my balls the spot between my penis and balls pulses with pain some days and thrush pops up everytime i have happytime so i’m guessing its even in my sprem. I’m on my last day of macrodantin and i is worryied still have 11 more pills on Nizoral.

All my other blood tests are 110% liver is 110% i’m a fit hard working class man, i work out everyday, i have an amazing diet. what is wrong? stressing too much? i hope its not signs of HIV!? is it something i’m eating or taking? There was a 3 month period where i was taking Cell Biology – Metaslim B2 which increases metabolisum. gives you energy whilst exersice and increases blood presure through the roof.

I’m just seriously over it..

I’m not sure what I might have…I have unusual discharge, I took monostat 1 and it went away, but then I had sex with my boyfriend and it came right back! It also hurts lately when we’re having sex, but just right around the opening…and I have some dry skin too on the upper part. This has come and gone like three times over the past month or two…what could this be a sign of?

A few days after my period, I noticed some itching around my crotch area. This went on for 2-3 days without becoming severe. I then had sex with my boyfriend yesterday, but it did not feel good, so I had him pull out. He noticed little chunks of white discharge on his penis, so we eventually came to the conclusion that I had a yeast infection. I have never had one before. We just went and purchased the generic store brand of Monistat 3-Day with three vaginal suppositories and three applicators (I’d heard that the actual Monistat brand burns upon application, so I didn’t want to take any chances with that). I am a little puzzled by the applicators and the suppositories, but I’ll figure it out tonight before use. I am 25 years old, to give some background.

I was wondering, since we had sex while I had the yeast infection, does he need to get treated as well? I have read that he could cause me to get another vaginal yeast infection if we had sex again after I treat what I have now. How does a male get treated for this? We will not be having sex until I am rid of this yeast infection.

Also, do vaginal yeast infections ever go away on their own, or do they always need to be cured with OTC or doctor-prescribed treatments? Are there any side effects of waiting more than a few days to get treated?

Thank you for any knowledgeable help and advice.
Thank you for all the responses so far. The itching around the vulva has gotten pretty severe today. I have researched and it seems that I have virtually all of the yeast infection symptoms (I have experienced an STI and even bacterial vaginitis in the past, and this is neither of those).

I’m not having sex for some time now but I am feeling like I want it so I plan to masturbate. I’ve had this yeast infection for about 11 days now, sometimes it "seems" to go away if I drink lots of fluids. Today I used the yogurt remedy and the smell and discomfort disappeared for awhile.

I was wondering if masturbating can complicate the infection. I am getting Monistat tomorrow, as I feel natural remedies are starting not to work for me.

I’m suffering from a yeast infection, I’ve tried to treat it with the over the counter monistat, it relieved most of the symptoms but they came back a few days later. My doctor prescribed me the one dose of diflucan, if I take it today how long will it take to cure my yeast infection? and how long should I wait before having sex?

In the last 2 days, my bf was complaining his penis was a little irritated. We didn’t think much of it because we figured it was the soap, which was a problem in the past. But just today, I come to the realization that I have a yeast infection. I bought the Monistat and used it asap. I already feel better and will continue with treatment. My question is how is a male yeast infection treated? Besides not having sex.
Any and all answers are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
