Petroleum jelly is the absolute worst thing to use as a sexual lubricant. Its really hard to was off well because its oil based & it can seal in the bacteria and yeast and cause more infections or make them worse. They can even cause UTIs and bladder/kidney infection because the bacteria can get pushed into your urethra & because the petroleum doesn't get flushed out when you pee, it can travel up into your upper urinary tract. Talk to your doctor & be sure to let them know you used petroleum jelly instead of actual sexual lubricant.

The yeast may not have been completely gone. I remember once years ago when I was still with my 9 year old sons father I had a yeast infection, thought it was gone and had sex. Omg. It was like my vagina was on FIRE! And the next day the yeast was back full force. I would wait at least three or four days after you think it's cured before having sex again

Never use vasilne down there it can cause a lot of different infections. KY only

Petroleum jelly can cause a yeast infection as well. Always use water base lubricants.

one day isn't long enough at all.. a yeast infection takes a toll on the vagina.

my fiancé & I had to stop having sex for a while due to my constant yeast infections & BV (bacterial vaginosis) ... I wasn't doing anything to KEEP getting them, my body was just prone to them.. go figure, me & my hormones.

I've tried a prescribed pill (fluconazole) which worked the best - it's one pill you take (I chewed, I can't swallow pills) & it worked miracles for me.. I've had to use a gel/cream that I had to insert in my vagina every night for over a week.. man, I've been through it!!! lol

the one thing I suggest is DO NOT HAVE SEX for a while!! it may be hard, but trust me.. that continuous irritation to your vagina is even worse. we tried a few days after my treatments and mine would burn, hurt, swell up, etc. it's not worth it.. just let your body heal first. good luck! ((:

It's probably just still tender from the infection. Did you remember to treat your partner too? Always a good idea so he can't reinfect you.

I've been having yeast off n on since I've been pregant .... just got over the recent one like a day ago I thought...

[OctoberMommy2014]

it definitely could be an allergic reaction, OR it could still just be irritated.. it's really hard to say.

how long has it been since you had the yeast infection??
