Oral Sex and Yeast Infection
This may sound crazy, but the only time I seem to get a yeast infection is after receiving oral sex. If my boyfriend goes down 3 or 4 nights in a row I start developing one. I was just wondering if anyone else has expierencied this, or knows if there could possibly be something in his mouth causing this. (Obviously I would notice and not let him go there if is something I could see) Any suggestions would be great.
Ok well I've noticed it's all girls on this site but I have a concern that I think you guys could help with more then the blogs with sex addicted men! My girlfriend and I are 18 and we just lost our virginity to each other, but a few months before this she got a yeast infection and I was under the belief that it was because i had fingered her to often. She went to the doctor and then the infection seemed to clear up but now we have had sex and and i don't know if it is from the sex but it seems to have come back! There is kinda an off smell and a milky white substance! I used to go down on her on a regular basis but I've sorta stopped and I feel terrible because it made her so happy!.. Now that u know the whole story my questions are: Can I still go down on her (I can get past the taste and smell for her) but am I at risk of getting some sort of infection??.. And can we still have sex or is that just prolonging the infection? What should I do! I want to keep her happy and I don't want her to be embarrassed because of her yeast infection!
Im 15 and my boyfriend recently gave me "oral sex" and about 2 or 3 days after I started getting really itchy and irritated down there.. Should I ask him to not do it anymore because I don't want another yeast infection or is it just a quin cadence that I got it after everything happened?
Someone please help :/

Yeah am experience the same symptoms. Virginia is wet and itchy. Slight itch. No pain or discomfort, just an itch. What can this be, any help please? Thanks
Everyone IS so nice here! It's great to talk about these things so openly with women who are experiencing the same type of thing. I've had minor yeast infections my whole life but I just started having sex (I'm 18) and it started hurting a few days ago. My boyfriend goes down on me almost everyday... So all this definitely makes sense! It's worse this time then it has been ever, and one website said a yeast infection can be caused by "a change in vaginal environment". I guess that means sex for me! Or consistent sex every day type of thing. I'm about to start using monostat 3, but have been drinking cranberry juice for days! I heard yogurt helps too, and avoiding meats and sweets can help too, I think it's a pH thing! Don't know if this helped, but always good to have another opinion! :)
Yeast infections cannot be caused by eating yogurt while on antibiotics. In fact, it's important to eat yogurt (or even better, take a probiotic supplement) during and ESPECIALLY after you have been on a course of antibiotics. Taking the probiotic at the same time as the probiotic or yogurt is unhelpful though as the antibiotic will simply kill the probiotic. It's important to take the probiotic as far between antibiotic doses as possible. Antibiotics can and do often result in candida yeast overgrowths in women that most commonly display themselves as vaginal yeast infections because its a warm, damp area that yeast can flourish and multiple. When you have a yeast infection you need to stay away from simple carbohydrates (starchy foods, white bread, etc), sugar and processed foods. These things feed the yeast. If you are having recurrrent yeast infections it is very likely you have a candida yeast overgrowth. I would recommend going to your local health food store, ask your doctor and you can also do your own research online about it. Yeast is very difficult to get rid of so it will take effort if you do have recurrent infections. I
Hope this helps and good luck!
