I've had 2 -3 YIs over as many months. How can I prevent them? I've had them before (I'm 34), but not this bad. I just had a checkup and I'm very healthy. So that doesn't seem to be the issue. What do other sexually active women do?

You probably are passing the yeast infection back and forth to each other. Men get yeasts infections too. My friend and her husband passed it to each other for years until they found this out. He had to use Monistat and rub it on his shaft and get some down the tip to cure it. Now she doesn't have yeast infections anymore. Chances are that is your problem too. Taking Azo Yeast will prevent them.

I had a yeast infection for almost 5 years straight until I couldn't even pee any more. The OB said no, its not your birth control pills..no..no..no..no..no, not the BC pills. One day 5 years later I quit to get pregnant...7 yrs later I have never had one again. Long story short are you using any birth contol at all? If yes, change it!!! It messes with your horomones and that can cause you an infection...besides where do you think the ingested pills come out at/ Somewhere down south. Try this.

Is the doctor sure these are YI ?
Some women are actually allergic to their lover's semen. It manifests itself as itching and discharge. Also, if he uses condoms, consider latex allergy.
If it is yeast, you could check to be sure you are not diabetic and also that your lover does not have a yeast infection or other infection. Antibiotics also make one susceptible.
If none of these ideas help, you could consider vinegar douches after sex.

It sounds like common sense, but be sure you are both keeping clean in that area. If you're not clean, he can push those germs around down there causing an infection. If he's not clean, same thing. So it's important to maintain hygeine there. And definitely clean up afterwards! You don't want to leave things down there to breed bacteria and infection. If your boyfriend doesn't know about your infections, be sure to talk this over with him so that he's doing all he can to keep you healthy. Also a good idea, douche after sex and after your period to clean things out.

servral things can cause a yeast infection
1) what you eat: dont eat things like candy or breads.
2) the way you clean your self: momma always said "frount to back not
back to frount"
3) during intercourse: never and i mean never!!! let him do anything to your back side and then to it to your good side. the germs that are in your backside are not to ever come in contact w/ the goodside.
4) to dispose of it: in the morning when your in the shower take your fingers and get all that white creamy stuff out of you. that is the infection and thats what makes you itch. also keep a peice of tissue in that area during the day to keep it as dry as possible. their are also vitamens that you can take to help you.
good luck and i hope that i could have been some kind of help to you.

happened to me too, after first becoming sexual with my boyfriend. I got one YI a month for 3-4 months and then nothing. I treated it with over the coutner stuff and finally diflucan. I think it's just your bodies way of adapting to your man. I expect it'll go away soon for you.
