Oral Sex and Yeast Infection

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.

it could be a herpe - but don't freak out! just about everyone has the herpes virus in them, the herpes simplex 1, which most people get as a kid (chicken pox). it is possible for them to show up on your genitals, although usually simplex 2 is associated with genitals. but you can go ahead and rule out simplex 2 (genital herpes), since you're a virgin. it's probably just a harmless little herpe! it could be anything though. humans get random skin irritations all the time.

Hi. I am not a medical professional at all, but I do get alot of yeast infections (unfortunately). I have found out that spermacides and latex always seems to trigger mine...I am also  Hypoglycemic which i need a certain amount of sugar intake. So as women we crave chocolates and what not and that could be triggering them as well. I have had to stop eating candy and cute down on sweets (believe me it's sooo not easy). Consuming more garlic than you normally would, could help so much along with I have found out that eating lemons here and there when you feel like you are getting one while using monostat will or could help.....and when you get it under control pro biotics help.

Many years ago I had recurring yeast infections, typically after sexual contact. I then met my husband and they disappearred for the entire time we were together. unfortunately our marriage did not last.  Just recently I started seeing a new man and eventually we had sex for the first time, both oral and penetration. that same week I got a yeast infection.
im scared to go through the recurring infections again. is it because of the new guy and why didnt it happen w one guy but did with the others?
