:( Need help with yeast infection
Hi so I have been having problems with yeast infections for 6 months now. Before I never had a problem with yeast at all. My diet is good and has not changed. I have changed my detergent and soap and used cotton panties ect. and still keep getting back to back infections. Is it possible that it's never really gone away completely? Can yeast become resistant as well? I also heard that oral sex can be a factor for causing yeast infections. I would love some advice and opinions thank you so much
It is good you are wearing cotton panties and changed soap etc....eating yogurt is helpful with yeast infections. Are you taking any antibiotics, perhaps for acne? They can cause yeast infections. Also oral sex can cause yeast infections if your partners mouth has a high population of yeast. The pH of your vagina may be off as well. Vagisil has an over the counter screening kit to test pH. If you have only tried over the counter stuff for your infections you need to go see a doctor to get it straightened out! Good luck!
