Help...yeast Infection
Posted: 12-23-05 17:48pm

Anyone thats had this before please some advice.
I've never had a yeast infection before and it really hurts.
I'm sore, and burning, and itchy.
I took meds yesterday for it.
But I really can't take this anymore!!
How long until it goes away?
How long does the burning and itching last?
Can I have sex even if it hasn't been a week because I used the meds that is one day?
Are you really more itchy and burn more from using one day meds? (i wish I learned this before using it!)

No, don't have sex. Your partner may get it as well.
If you're using meds., just give it time.
Avoid using any chemicals on/around your area. (like scented pantyliners, douches, feminine sprays, etc.)
if the burn/itch gets really bad go sit in a hot tub of water. I thelps me.
Try not to scratch or irritate it.
Keep using meds for the full teatment. Even if it goes away before he course of treament.
Good luck.

being sexually active doesn't necessarily give you yeast infections. If you've been getting them frequently, your partner needs to get checked for it too, because men don't show signs of yeast infections usually, and will spread it back and fourth to you (i found this out the hard way >.<)

so, definatly get your so checked and put on meds!
