I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here. Do you know that yeast infection are NOT typically an STI? That's probably why you have been getting them from a young age. Yeast infections are related to imbalances in the bacteria and fungi that normally live in your vagina. Yes, yeast infections can be passed on to partners, but that is not where you got it from, so don't worry about that.
As for treating it, you need to have a close look at your diet, lifestyle and hygiene. Diets high in refined sugars and carbohydrates can contribute to thrush (another name for yeast infections). Try to eat plenty of fresh veges, fruit, whole grains and especially live culture yogurt. These natural bugs help to stop overgrowth of the candida bugs that cause all your woes. Wear cotton undies and avoid tight fitting clothes in that area. Go commando occasionally (when appropriate) to air the area. Don't use perfumes or creams down there, just keep it clean with water (soap can cause irritation too) and be careful to wipe front to back always.
You should also mention this next time you see your doctor, as it sounds as though there could be some sort of imbalance in your system to cause so many outbreaks. With your doctor, explore the possibility of irritation caused by latex (condoms) or even semen, which does happen in some women.
Good luck!

sounds like a plausible urinary tract an infection alongside with a yeast an infection alongside with some thing probably better severe.each and every female your age sexually energetic or no longer must have an annual pap try finished. tell your mum and dad that you pick to have your womens each and each and every year because they say you pick to start up doing that when you start up your era now. And bypass from there. because you're 16 your health care specialist can not search for suggestion from out of your mum and dad. even as did you change into sexually energetic? If after 13 then ok yet to stay with this for 3 years. Yuck. how can you stand it. If some thing bypass to the community pharmacy and ask the Pharmasist which over-the-counter yeast an infection medicin works the perfect. attempt that because you try this at nighttime your mum and dad likely received't locate out. i do no longer condone hiding stuff yet i'm no longer your figure so i'm no longer preaching at you. i'm 25 and performance 2 youthful toddlers myself. i'd a lot quite have my daughter be open and person-pleasant about those issues than to conceal it, yet i don't understand your challenge. good success.

It's a yeast infection and your doctors are giving you antibiotics? That's the problem, honey. Yeast infections are aggravated, not healed, by antibiotics. Any doctor who prescribes antibiotics for a yeast infection isn't worth the air he or she is breathing.
Since it seems your doctors are not too smart, try natural cures instead. The best one (works for me!) is to get some unflavored yogurt. Before you go to bed, ladle a few teaspoons of the yogurt into your snatch. Then go to bed in loose, white cotton panties. repeat until infection subsides. Since you seem to be so prone to yeast infections, you might want to use a spoonful once a week, just to keep things in balance.
Good Luck!

Have some blooodwork done. Taking antibiotics can actually bring on Thrush as it is commonly know .Antibiotics are not routinely used for this. The ph in your vagina is out of whack it becomes too alkali instead of acid this allows the yeast too multiply and cause the symptoms you explain. Naturopaths have very good success at dealing with problems like these, although I have not had to go to one myself but as you have had many courses of antifungals and antibiotics i think you should broaden your horizons on different treatments available.

Chronic yeast infections can also be a sign of diabetes....you can also have recurrent ones from a staph infection....only found with the PROPER culture test. The constant antibiotics are putting you in a Catch-22 circle, too. You need to change doctors, for starters.

Wear loose fitting jeans and cotton panties. Or buy panties with a white cotton sheild inside. Colored panties can cause a yeast infection. Also avoid scented tampons and colored or scented toilet paper.

Start wiping your bottom from front to back.
