yeast-infection
Seven months ago my boyfriend and I began having sex, and about two weeks later I started my period but noticed that I was having major pain and itching internally and externally towards the end of my period. I went to the OB/GYN and I did have a yeast infection for the first time ever. I wasn't on any birth control, nor taking any antibiotics, not pregnant, and the pap came back normal with no diseases.
As I said before, you can be confident that you do not have HIV. That you ahve recurrent yeast infections is not due to this. You do not need further testing, really.
Hello there

Hello,
Candidiasis is the most common yeast infection of the skin. Since you are having recurrent fungal infections, so it is important to do a fungal culture of the skin scrapings of the affected area to confirm the type of fungal infection you have. Till then, wash the affected skin daily and then dry thoroughly by pat drying, not rubbing. The damp skin is an ideal site for fungi to multiply. Also wear cotton clothes and do not share other people’s towels.
Please help me find relief! I have recurrent yeast infections monthly. I have gotten one a month since I gave birth to my last child in November. I have been to my gynecologist multiple times for this issue and I get no where. I call every month and get a diflucan pills & it usually always clears it up quickly, however, this month has been AWFUL! I am currently dealing with another yeast infection which is much worse this time.
During extensive searching, i located numerous positive Hep C patients that complain of recurrent yeast infections. I never had this before becoming infected and the timing is just too coincidental to be ignored. No new medications, same ones I took for years.
I always get yeast infections after oral sex with my boyfriend. It hasnt always been like this but after the first time i got one they have always came back after oral. We got my boyfriend a diflucan to take but it didnt seem to help. what can i do to stop these other than stopping oral sex completely.
Wow... I have had either recurrent yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis ( ewwww) since all my symptoms started PLUS a forever UTI (per my kidney dr).. I'm still trying to get a dx but this is crazy that I just connected the dots... through my timeline...
Could it all be related?
I have been suffering with chronic recurrent yeast infections for nearly 5 years. I have been checked several times for diabetes, HIV, and all STDs. ALL NEGATIVE including herpes. I have seen numerous local doctors (OB/GYN and Infectious Disease), yet I still suffer with chronic yeast infections. I have taken various oral/vaginal medications and supplements for yeast infections. I get a form of relief during my menstrual period but shortly after, the yeast will reappear.
The most likely cause of your symptoms is chronic/recurrent yeast infection, or irritant vaginitis (more likely, I think). Vaginitis just means inflammation of the vaginal/vulvar area.
I'm not sure if you've been examined, or have had swabs and had yeast ruled out. If it is yeast, it may be easily treated with an anti-fungal.
Im 21 and for the last 2yrs or so like a few days before i get my period my vagina starts itching very badly, it really bothers me and it gets me frustrated. i dnt have any desease, i goot teested thinking it cudv been that. I thought maybe iit cudv been like yiest infection aand ive tried using vagisil n it still keeps happening. Can somebody please tell me whatit is? and how can stop that?
Also, if during your saga you have been given antibiotics, they do predispose persons to yeast infections. Finally recurrent yeast infections are a problem that some women just have to work through with their doctors through a trial and error approach.
I hope this is helpful to you. You do not have HIV.
Since having my hysterectomy I have recurrent yeast infections (which has been verified via gyno) Before my hysterectomy I had 2 yeast infections my whole life. From what I've read it seems to be a common issue among women who've had a hysterectomy. I guess I'm curious as to what the causes could be. I had read that the ovaries stop functioning properly more quickly after a hysterectomy and he said no. He also recommended douching with baking soda.
Has anyone encountered recurrent yeast infections? I'm 32+ 3 and this is the 3rd infection in the past 2-3 months. At first I thought I was becoming allergic to my boyfriend, but I held out from sex and still managed to get another infection. I've tried two different creams and an oral pill yesterday (hopefully it works). Do n e one have any suggestions? Also yogurt is out of the question, cannot tolerate it.
Hi,
I thought it was yeast and self-treated as I've gotten them before. I'm pretty sure its yeast but since posting this I did experience another OB. Initially it started off as a yeast infection and the meds for it stopped the itching and treat it but I realised that the itching persisted and it felt more like how I felt when I had my primary OB. I was still taking the acicyclovir since my first OB around June 8 I've just increased the intake during this OB. I'm treating the Y.
when you treat for trich, the medication you use can cause yeast infections vaginally but it also can cause the dead bacteria to work its way out of your body. at this point avoid sex and if discharge is still there by monday, be seen and seek out further testing for vaginal infections. if this is just dead bacteria working its way out, it'll be gone by then.
did you and your partner also seek out full std testing that also included herpes igg blood testing?
You need to see a Urologist who can order x-rays or an ultrasound of your kidneys and can look into the bladder and urethra for evidence of a persistent infection. There are people who get very frequent recurrent infections and need to be on long term suppressive antibiotics for control. Good Luck.
I have been having recurrent yeast infections for the past 8 months (about once a month) and I noticed that the very first time I ever got it it was very painful and itchy, but as its progressed over the past 7 months, they have decreased in severity and intensity. I have one right now and its not very itchy at all, just the usual discharge which also isn't very much.
The trouble is, that I have had recurrent yeast infections this summer, and consistently painful sex (almost always) with this partner. we have been together for 6 months. i have lubrication trouble, and often feel sore after having sex with him. On and off, I had to avoid sex with him because of the yeast infections. A week and a half ago, I was treated for a yeast infection.
I have read that hiv can cause recurrent yeast infections but I have had 3 hiv tests over the past 3 months that were all negative. What do I do?
My dear, yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis can have very similar symptoms. For months I have had the same itchiness that you describe. Each time I go to the doctor telling them I have a yeast infection and need a pill, they swab me and tell me that I am negative for yeast and it's usually bacterial vaginosis. BV is different from yeast infection in a few ways. BV has a strong smell associated with it, almost like fish.
I have had plenty of history with recurrent yeast infections. I actually believe I get recurring yeast infections nearly every month. I have talked with my doctor about this and she prescribed me a medicine. However, usually a week before and a week after my period, I get these infections. Atleast I believe I do. I began reading and started to worry that these could actually be herpes outbreaks.
