pain from sex

I have only had sex with 2 guys, one of which is my boyfriend of a year. Almost every time we have sex or fool around, it is painful. I have had yeast infections in the past and have used over the counter meds and even the pills, which tends to help for a while, but it never seems to get completely better. My vaginal area is just sore and I think I produce enough lube, but sex or touching can make it feel raw and sore. Sex is uncomfortable sometimes. I want to be able to have sex more often, but it usually takes a couple days before it feels good enough to have sex again. I'm not sure what I should do. I can't tell if it just a yeast infection that won't go away or if it could be something else. Any thoughts?

And I want to add something important. try this for a while, as it may really make a difference. do not use regular soap down there. there are many products you cam use but nothing comes to my mind right now except in the section where they also have the yeast infection meds, and pregnancy tests, there is a soup made by EVE that would work great.  i myself cannot use soap there, it immediately  causes problems. many women and also men are sensitive to soap and perfumes, but it's usually only with the genitals where it causes problems.

You have to remember that your partner also has to be treated for the yeast infection even if he has no symptoms. It could also be hormonal. What I would do is skip the oral for a while and when you have sex, apply that cream so it gets all over both of you and your men.

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one who had stuff like that happen!!!!!! I'm not sexually active though. But, everytime I recieve oral sex or any other types of fooling around, it can leave me feeling raw for several days! Now, it's beginning to look like like I might have the start of a yeast infection.
