So I was wondering what everyone thinks.....In July had unprotected sex then had full STD screen in August. When I had a sever yeast infection. This yeast infection would not go away I went to 4 different doctor who all said it was not an STD but a yeast infection but I was still hung up on the fact that Herpes is oftern misdiagnosed as yeast infection. During the treatment I had an allergic reaction to Miconazol the stuff in Monstats which made the situation worse. I then got a blood test which came back as negative for herpes. I recently had sex again with my BF and we used a condom well within about 5 days I was experiencing these yeast infection symptoms again. I was wondering if I could be allergic to the condoms or if this is just simply yeast? If anyone has had a similar story please share! Thanks!!

"Frogger" - Did you test for Chytrid fungus?

If you're having an allergic reaction to the yeast infection creams, then you can get a pill. Have any doctors tried that?
I wouldn't worry too much about STDs since you've been tested by 4 doctors. It sounds like and allergy to spermicide or even latex. I get the same thing from sperm and spermicides and some lubes, and it feels just like an awful yeast infection. Try a different condom without spermicide and see if that helps.
It also wouldn't hurt to eat a yogurt every day and always wear cottons undies. Plus, it might be a good idea to wear loose pants or shorts to bed with no undies for more air.

I have never heard of Herpes misdiagnosed as a yeast infection. What I have read and been told is that Bacterial Vaginosis and Trichamoniasis can be misdiagnosed as a Yeast infection. The test for all three is via the visualization of a culture from your vagina and or cervix on a slide. The trichamoniasis can be missed very easily if you are not looking for it, because the parasites die easily. In either case you would most like be treated with Metronidazole. If you have Trich, your partner needs to be treated for it at the same time, and you need to have no sex for a few days. take care and see a Doctor or go to a clinic.

It sounds like the yeast infections and sex go together for you. Arousal and sex produce the dark, moist conditions that yeast thrives on. Eat a container of yogurt every day, cut out soda pop, do not wear nylon underwear (can trap moisture in the cotton crotch), and urinate, clean up and DRY the genital area as soon after sex as you are comfortable excusing yourself. This stuff helps also if you are prone to urinary tract infections.
I would have to agree with an earlier comment that it might be wise to get checked for trichimoniasis.

You have an overgrowth of yeast! Don't listen to Sandra Dee Antibiotics CAUSE yeast infections not stop them- for pete's sake how as a woman can you not know that??? anyways, cut back on sugar, drink a lot of water and get AZO yeast tablets take them every day in the beginning 2 x's a day until you feel better, then take them every couple days just to keep it in check.

chronic yeast infections can be a sign of type 2 diabetes or pre diabetes. eat yogurt every day, where cotton panties, don't wear tights, pee before and after sex, you could be allergic to the spermaside in the condoms or you could have a latex allergy. Something in your diet could be affecting you body chemistry too. I hope that will help you get some sort of thinking going and help you resolve your issue

It could be possible that you're allergic, but you would need your doctor to diagnose that. Most STD's take awhile to show up on tests, so you should get tested again soon, because you never know. As well, yeast infections could be from anyting, poor hygiene, not wiping front to back, etc etc.

More questions?
Age?
Date of last menstrual period?
Date of last pap smear? or pelvic axam?
Ever been tested for latex alergy?
Ever been tested for Diabetes?
Without examining you I have no way to properly diagnose. I suggest visiting your Doctor and ask he or she to test blood sugars. Thay would normally give you a meter to check this three times daily for a week and requiring you to keep a log of all readings.
If they have reason to believe it is not diabetes I suggest allergy testing!

hi,
when you have a severe yeast infection, you need to fully complete the anti biotic course. if it isn't completely gone, it will flair up again, until it is fully treated.

If you are having anal sex and going back and forth between anus and vagina, that could be the problem.
