I was with a different sex partner once
and we used protection but shortly after
that (i'd say about a week and a half, I
developed a sore outside the vagina (near
where I would shave in the crease) this
went away and then I noticed itching and a
discharge. I went to my doctor who
tested me and came back with the diagnosis
of yeast infection. I tried monistat
myself at first before going to the doctor
and she prescribed diflucan. This works
as long as it stays in my system...After 3
days then its back to the usual. I have
contacted her again, but she is out of the
office for a week. I don't know what is
going on...But it is getting very old!
Any help?

Hello Posted: 01-17-04 11:24am
I am from australia
at the chemist
there is canesten cream for thrush.
And a cream
called resolve
you have to
use it unternally and externally all over
the area to prevent it re occuring. You
need to dissenfect all your sheets and
underware. Prehaps if you dont have
cotton underware get some.

Really? You have to disinfect sheets and
underwear? Well, I guess that must
explain a lot. Why the infection keeps
on coming back. Everytime I put my
undergarments on i'm reinfecting myself.
However, mine can't be sexually
transmitted because i'm a virgin. So,
where else can you get a yeast infection?

Persian,
it's not about "where" you get a yeast
infection, but "how" you get one....You
can get a yeast infection from so many
things...From not drying yourself well
enough after you take a shower, and then
put your underwear on and still being
"damp down there"...You can get it from
taking antibiotics,birth control, over
douching, not cleaning enough or properly
down there(poor hygiene)....I've
personally never heard that you have to
disinfect sheets and underwear...I mean of
course you're not going to put on a pair
of already worn dirty undies, or sleep on
stained sheets, come on now! if
you suspect you have a yeast infection, or
if you think something's going on "down
under" than it's imperative to get in to
see ur dr to get proper
treatment/medication!

Also, perfumes and lotions applied down

cause alot of yeast infections!...

Hi There Posted: 01-21-04 05:25am
I am 42 with 5 kids , I had a
hysterectomy, and the medication like
antibiotics will cause it,, I have been on
duflacan, its the same for 2 days I have
relief, then blam! I have it again. I
have a good relationship with my dr's
nurses, they know when I call that I need
yeast infection meds. I tell ya, I am
gonna go and see the dr this week, and
find out why, because, I have never had
any female trouble until I had the
hysterectomy.. I hope you feel better.

Just a heads up---if your sexually active
with the same partner while you have a
yeast infection you need to treat him as
well otherwise (though guys don't have any
problems with it) he can carrie the
problem and keep giving it back to you.
I personnally get a yeast infection
anytime I decide to have a beer, so I just
don't drink beer. There are many causes
but many people forget that a guy can
carry it.

Hi iam new to the board, but I noticed
autum24 and her reply.. You say everytime
you have a beer you get a yeast infection
huh?
Well ive been telling everyone that about
me because I never drank a day in my life
then about 3 months ago I started drinking
jack daniels dont ask just took a likeing
to it straight even... Well then was my
first yeast infection, then a second then
a third all in 2 months
my doc said its not from the jack.... But
I disagree now that ive seen someone else
with the same kind of problem,,,,
how did you determine it was the beer?

Everyone thinks that people with diseases
easy even though you can get it easy you
know you can prevent that dont have sex
anyone can get a yeast infection but
sexually transmitted diseases are a
different story gots to bounce holla
