Oral Sex and Yeast Infection

[ladybell]

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.

Many times women get these infections from the bacteria of their partner, be it from oral activity, full intercourse, or what have we...there's bacteria from his body going to ours. The best way to deal with this is to naturally let the body heal withOUT antibiotics, or even douching...you're storage of bacteria (and probiotics from yogurt) will balance things out in your genital area to where you won't be getting yeast infections from the single partner for whose bacteria you've allowed yourself to adjust to. I know from experience: Taking Monistat creams, to oral antibiotics from doctors, to douching, and then just plain creating ways to curb the discomfort while allowing my body to do its own thing healing.  STEPS: You'll need to discontinue intercourse until healed because it'll agitate you greatly (give him oral, hand jobs, or anal till you're healthy), and to deal with the itching discomforts, wash your genital area a couple times over the day, every 8 hours or whatever your body needs or you can afford and gently PAT dry and fan it down there, and wear LOOSE cotton underwear like men's shorts (seriously) or none at all if your wearing pant anyway, because you don't want cloth rubbing down there and causing discomfort. Oh and make sure your bath towels have all of the laundry detergent thoroughly rinsed out. Don't scratch and rub too much down there as tempting as it may be, you want to avoid inflamming yourself. USE ONLY a delicate soap like Dove if you must on the outside genital area and rinse with plenty of water! I really hope this helps.

I too have this problem! i have never had yeast infection in my life but recently, i became sexually active with my boyfriend and
within the past 5 months , i have had about 4 yeast infections! i went to the doctor twice already within this period of time. She tested me for EVERYTHING. the first visit, she told me it was BV and gave me medication, which cleared me up. The second visit, she told me i had nothing and tested me for everything again. everything came back negative again. She gave me medication anyway and it was cleared up. A few days later, my boyfriend and I had intercourse  (always with protection) and he also gave me oral sex. the symptoms came back a week later! i have been so fruastrated and embarassed about this!!!! i have a whitish/yellowish discharge and a
really really really horrible smell! im always so self concious!!! this is ruining my life!! i had him get tested for everything also and he doesnt have anything either. I tried everything over the counter and the only think that worked was monistat! Because of this, i stopped having sex with him but about two weeks ago, he gave me oral sex and guess what? It came back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i noticed that he usually drink alcohol right before performing oral sex on me and i am wondering if that is the cause of it?????

please please please help because this has never happed to me and i dont know what to do, i have tried everything!!! the doctor says its nothing but why do i keep getting symptoms?

You should do a candida cleanse. This was happening to me a few years ago and I discovered, with the help of my naturopath, that my body was full of yeast. Twice a year, I cleanse using a kit from my health food store called Candigone and it takes two weeks per cleanse. You'll feel really really awful at first because the yeast is dying and releasing toxins. Follow the kit, eat the recommended diet, and you'll clear it up. After the cleanse, stay away from sugars as much as possible. It feeds yeast. Your boyfriend should do the cleanse too.

He might have thrush, a condition of the mouth and tongue. Some people have it genetically, etc. not just randomly. In some cases thrush can be a symptom of something else so maybe ( very nicely) you could ask him to see a doctor to make sure he doesn't. Second, theres no harm in mentioning this to your doctor for insight - though he/ she may just tell you to refrain from oral sex. Thirdly, could just simply be the bacteria in said persons mouth bothering the PH balance in your vagina. Vaginas are a complex thing! I doubt even by the time were 80 well even half understand our vagina, menstraul cycle, etc. as much as we need to to get by!!
