how do i rid myself of severe jock itch...wife has monthly yeast infections...are they related?

Answer 1

Yes, and it might not be a yeast infection. Quite possibly it's bacterial vaginosis. You will continually pass it back and forth unless you both get treated.

Your wife needs to go to her OB/GYN and explain the problem. The dcotor will give her a prescription and advise her about what steps you need to take. You should set up an appointment with your doctor as well.

Best of luck!

Answer 3

I think your wife needs to see a doctor to find out why she's bothered by yeast infections every month. Something is wrong here.
Jock Itch is caused by a fungus called Tinea cruris. The yeast infection is caused by a fungus called Candida. Candida does not cause jock itch but it can cause an infection in the head of the penis.
Come to think of it, it sounds like you both should see a doctor.

Answer 4

Yes. You need to just each be treated, and sorry - not have sex til you are both cleared up. However, your wife shouldn't be having yeast infections all the time - she needs to see a gynecologist.

Answer 5

When yr wife consults Gyn, ideally she should be prescribed medicines for both of you. This kinda infection stays if you both are not treated at the same time. Sort of badminton game - shuttle keeps moving from court to court. Also get your blood sugar tested- both of you. Good luck!

Answer 6

Most likely - you two are probably infecting & re-infecting each other - creating a vicious cycle. You should see a urologist & she should consult a gynocologist. Refrain from relations until the doctors give you the all clear.

Answer 7

Yes they are related, you each need to treat yourselves until you are each cleared up. There's no point in trying to discover who is infecting who becuase now it's just going back and forth so treat each of you thoroughly and abstain until the problem is gone. could be easier said than done.
