I suffer from recurring UTI (badly at times) especially after intercourse (not all the time though). My boyfriend lives in another city and just recently when I raised this issue, I was told that he'd had yeast infection. The last time we saw each other he told me that the doctor had given me this ointment to treat his yeast infection. I had never ever had yeast infection. Should I be suspicious?

Yeast infection is commonly caused by the fungi Candida, which can be considered as human normal flora (normal existing microorganisms found on human body). Yeast overgrowth happens when a person's immunity is lowered. Even though yeast infection can be transmitted through sex, I don't believe you need to be suspicious.
Also, if he's been doing something he shouldn't have and getting the infection, I doubt that he'll tell you so truthfully =)

I do not think so. He could have sat in swim trunks for too long he could have grown a yeast-like mold. Kind of like athletes foot mold. If you think you have a yeast infection, go to your gynocologist. They will check you and give you the proper treatment. Sorry to hear about your medical problem, though. Sometimes (not always) when I use this gspot vibe, afterward I get this feeling like I have a uti and it takes an hour or two to go away. Maybe it is just one of those things some ppl get.

For women who suffer from UTI after intercourse, most doctors today (its been so for years actually) prescribe taking one antibiotic pill before or right after intercourse as a preventive measure. Once this problem is settled the possibility that your boyfriend has the infection from either having intercourse with another woman or because of his medical condition requires you just one thing, to use protection. He needs to use a condom this way you can prevent any further complications. Good luck.

Usually a yeast infection is from a woman and can be passed to a male during intercourse,you could use otc creams to get rid of it .Shell is also right antibiotics can cause yeast and do eat yogurt plus it has calcium for womens bones.

A yeast infection can come from many things, not cleaning well, not wiping properly, having anal intercourse. Ask him what are his activities prior to getting his infections.
But UTI can be caused from lack of water, eating too much salt. and a various of other things.

Yeast infection is a very common infection to get, and a woman will get at least one during her life. The way to treat is with antifungal medicines like Monistat but if you suspect that you may have one then you need to see your dr for them to evaluate the situation. If you think you got this from your boyfriend and yes it can be passed around the partners please see your dr to find out for sure if you have a yeast infection.

I don't think you should be suspicious. Although it can be caused by sexual transmission the most common cause in men is antibiotics and diabetes. Also tell him not to use condoms that has nonoxynol-9.
