SEXUAL HEALTH YEAST INFECTION

Ive been getting yeast infections since about 11-12 years old .. didn't start having sex until I was 15 .. now I'm 18 and still have them ... I don't understand what can be the cause .. the antibiotics for the yeast do not work .. recently bought the Mon 7 and am gonna try that out .. I do notice it more when stressed or wearing lace underwear .. have been tested and clear for everything except clamidia , but I have treated it .. I just don't know what to do .. it ruins daily life and sex life .. very uncomfortable .. I do very often take hot baths and am prone to kidney infections and UTI's ..I have no insurance and aren't sure how to get any . Medicare turned me down since I'm not prego or have kids ... PLEASE HELP . Can any of this cause me to not get pregnant, have been having unprotected sex for a year and a half .. and nothing and he has kids with a previous partner .. how can I treat him for yeast without him going to the Dr ?

Hi Dee, I think you will find that its a problem trying to get pregnant why you have a yeast infection, and the thing it will be passing back and forth between you both, so thats no good, the thing would be for both of you start on a course of your choice and refrain from having sex why your doing it, and use yourself as a judge when to restart full sex again, but please make sure you are booth clean from yeast, so it may be 4 to 6 week sabbatical from sex.
One thing do you eat much sugars, as this is food for a yeast infection along with wheat flour and rice, you may need to go on a sugar free diet for the time till you clear of the yeast infection.
Good Luck

Don't do the boric acid thing.  

Take an oral probiotic.  Find a good one at a good healthfood store.  There you can also get soap with tea tree oil or neem oil.  They both treat yeast.  The topical creams that are made for yeast are fine if they work for you without causing discomfort.  I seem to be allergic to them, but I am able to use Lotrimin cream you can get for athlete's foot.  I just use it externally in the area of discomfort, and it helps.  There is also a pill for yeast that a doctor prescribes.  Wash your underclothes in hot water with properly measured Tide detergent and 1/2 cup of baking soda.  Wash your towels the same way so you aren't spreading the yeast by your towels and clothes.  Have the boyfriend shower with neem oil soap so he doesn't transmit it to you.  The neem soap is really great.  It clears up everything.

Hi Dee, Then try the natural way, yes just plain good old yogurt, but a good one and natural, now try eating it twice a day and smear some twice a day after washing your virgina each time with just plain water, and each time change your nickers and cotten would be best, and dont wear any at bedtime. OK the last bit, get some boric acid get it from your chemist, and ask for some, half a teaspoon in a litre of water, and drink through the day the will or should slowly kill the yeast infection along with the yogurt, but the boric keep taken for a couple of months, in a coulple of months come back and tell me your now clear.
Good Luck
Seasons Greetings
