I usually have a yeast infection a week before my period, according to my doctor and some research on the internet, it is normal for women due to hormonal changes after menstruation, or low immune system, antibiotics, and a lot more possible reason, and yes avoid having sex while you have it coz he will get infected, he will also feel the irritating feeling of itchiness, yogurt is one of the best home remedy, make it a part of your diet, plain yogurt, and Hydrate yourself, plenty of water, and what works best on me is taking a vitamic C 1,000 mg, 3 times a day while the symtoms persist, it fights the bacteria, and you can lower the dosage after it's gone. I stick to home remedy even if there's a lot of OTC creams and pills because there's no side effects. Goodluck!

I have yeast infections every time I am prescribed an antibiotic. You can get medicine over the counter. It will clear it right up. I have heard that you should not have sex because it can be transferable. Yeast infections will drive you crazy! Yogurt definately helps!!

No a yeast infection is not an STD, it is simply a bacterial infection. If you go to the pharmacy ask them for medicine for a vaginal yeast infection...you can buy it over the counter and it will work in like 24hours. And eat lots of yogurt, it prevents the bad bacteria from growing that causes a yeast infection.
