Also I just read that the Herpes strain that causes cold sores can be transmitted to the genitals resulting in genital herpes!
So if one of your gfs has had cold sores and gave you oral, then it could be transmitted. You should ask your doctor about a blood test in order to look for the antibodies.
If you went to so many doctors, then surely one of them would have done a blood test. But in any case go to your doctor or the local health dept before you give this to someone else.
Welcome to the STD forum. I'll try to help.
On balance, yeast (or some other sort of non-STD inflammation) seems more likely than herpes, at least for your current symptoms. And certainly antibiotic therapy can lead to yeast overgrowth, which can happen quite quickly. However, herpes is always a consideration for penile sores.
Does anyone know if you always get the cottage cheese looking stuff when you have a yeast infection? I dont have that but I do have the itching and ocasional burning... No odors or sores or nothing. just wondering cause it will take me a while to get to my dr cause I have to ge ta refferal for a OBGYN!
Thanks!
i dont know if she has thrush if she did i probably would ? she does seem to have yeast infections often or high levels of yeast. she gets sores on her arms and back that she claims is from yeast. i am sure its not crabs! doesnt look like any herpes that ive seen photos of . what other info would help?
I've was just wondering what are some common yeast infection symptoms? I just recently found out I'm pregnant and I've been particuarly itchy "down there". I'm really embarrassed and not sure if I need to go to a doctor or not. Are open sores a symptom??
so how did i get yeast infection if not from my wife's yeast infection. also, i just noticed tiny scabs from the base of the head of my penis. its hard to see but if i strecth the head, u can see it. also, after the oral sex, i placed a condom on and had vaginal sex. not sure if this has an effect.
thanks for another respone.
HSV can cause symptoms often confused with a yeast infection in females. How was the yeast infection diagnosis made? Based on symptoms alone or based on tests? If it was based on tests, then those are quite reliable.
White tongue could be a sign of oral thrush, which could be related to your girlfriend's yeast.
The flank pain does sound like it could be NGU though, that would not be typical of HSV but could be for NGU.
You've never had an risk then what is your concern? It has nothing to do with HIV.
Thank you so much for the info Redilma! He did wear a condom during sex btw but I have another question. Since I don't have any symptoms at all, when I use the creams and the tablets, how will I know I treated the yeast infection and it actually went away. To be honest I don't even know if I have a yeast infection. It has been two weeks since we had sex. I feel perfect and everything looks fine too. Is it possible to have a vaginal yeast infection and not have any symptoms?
I was worried about a penis itch I had for many weeks after this encounter but no sores appeared so I put it behind me. I tested positive for a slight yeast infection which I used antifungal cream for for about 4 weeks as directed from my doctor. My doctor told me this yeast infection was unlikely linked to the CSW encounter. I was negative for other STDs but was not tested for herpes. Blood tests for HSV in Australia are discouraged and difficult to get.
It sounds as though it could possibly be herpes? You could google herpes and see what they look like and compare to what you have. Have you been to an obgyn? I would definitely suggest that. If it was a yeast infection the diflucan and creams should have worked. I"ve never heard of open sores with a yeast infection. I hope you start to feel better soon. I know it must be very painful. Let us know!!
And her symptoms sound typical for yeast, not herpes -- which does not cause general redness and itching of the genitals. (Herpes sores can itch -- but without actual sores, herpes is unlikely.) Monistat and other yeast medications do not work instantaneously; it takes a couple days for symptoms to improve.
In addition, because your other sexual exposures were condom protected, it is very unlikely you caught herpes.
It is very common to have these sores breakout with a yeast infection as it is fungal in nature and causes an imbalance in your vaginal areas pH level and causes itching and any number of irritations that would make sore appear. Are you sexually active and if so when was your last exposure and when did the sores develop after the exposure, exposure meaning genital to genital rubbing and grinding.
Hello,
You are right in thinking that it can be a male yeast infection. Men yeast infection can develop due to the overgrowth of Candida albicans. It can be transmitted through intercourse but may develop due in diabetics, weakened immunity and when taking a course of antibiotics also. Some of the symptoms of this condition are irritation and soreness in the head of the male genital, white curdy discharge and redness in the head of the penis.
I have a history of problems with thrush, and am wondering whether this could be a severe case of a yeast infection??? I have no other symptoms apart from the sores, and what I believe to be thrush. I know this guy has just come out of a relationship, as have I, but I also know it is possible to carry the virus. I am really freaking out, as I really like this guy and am praying its just a yeast infection. I know I should go to the doctors, but generally wanted some advice. PLEASE HELP.....
