yeast infection after having sex

I've been having yeast infection for the past 5 months, At first i thought it was the change in weather and being that it gets moist down there i was getting the yeast infection. I went on vacation for a month and i didn't experience a yeast infection cause i haven't had sex. When i came back i had sex with man man and I notice that it reocurred again. I treated it everything was fine,until we had sex again it came back. I made an appointment to see my doctor and he gave me a precription for it. Everything is fine again after 3 weeks we had sex again the **** came back and i am getting so fustraded at one poitn i thought it was the condom but we used another brand and it's the same problem. I have an appointment with my doctor next week. If it's possile can someone plz give me some advice on what's the problem. thanks.

Same problem here. I found taking acidophilis ( a probiotic ) kept them at bay. As well as eating yogurt everyday. I still get them from time to time and it does get quite annoying. I found that if you also make sure you and you're partner washes properly before and after being intimate can also help. Also, women should try to pee right after having sex. Helps prevent bladder infections. Only 23 and I already hate the idea of having sex because of what I have to go through afterwards.. It's really ruining sex for me.

I was having the same problem. My doc gave me advice on a home remedy. She told me to let a tampon soak in peroxide and insert it for about 3 min for 3 days. She told me to do this every month after my cycle and it works. She explained to me that this restores my ph levels, kills the bad bacteria and promotes growth for the good ones.

I am 35 yo, I had a couple of east infections in my early days of having sex, but when I turned 30, after 2 years with no sex, I started going out with this guy, after having sex, two days later I had east infections. EVERY TIME! A few months later I broke up with him thinking that he was the problem. Another year with no sex and no problems, on the last year or so I have had four different partners and every time, with every partner I get east infections... I started to think that I wasted a Mr. Right and I was the problem all along!  Please help!

I'm a 54 year old man. I have been with the same woman for a year and 3 months. this has been an ongoing problem in our relationship every time we make love she ends up with the burning itching in a yeast infection. I too have even had the burning when peeing after we made love. But every time she hands that her sister said well he's been out of town maybe he's not been faithful. But everything she's ever ask me I've always done and went 10 x beyond that. She even asked me to go be checked in have that sexual thing done I said yes Jesus Christ that hurt but I did it. I told doctor to check from A to Z for her because I love her that much. I never questions are asked her to go through the same thing. All my results came back negative and I showed her the paper. But yet when we make love she still end up with a yeast infection. and yes every time we make love I always make sure she is lubricated because I do not want to hurt her because l am a bit on the large size in that dept.
7x2 l was wondering if that was it to becsuse being large. When we first did it we msde love 8 x thst night. Gour days lster 6x. As the months went on we moved in together it slowed down and she told me about the hurting and burning all new to me. Lady's l am very faithful. That is very sacred to me. I was with the same woman for 30 years before she died. and I have been with this beatyful women for 1yr 3 months very faithful. I just want to know what to do to help her-  us. Thank you

A yogurt SUPPOSITORY will get rid of a yeast infection fast.  But it needs to be plain, unsweetened (and hopefully organic) yogurt.  It works much better than drugs and you'll be feeling better the same day.
