I feel like I probably have it constatly and just notice it when it's really bad. Ever since I was young I would use the creams and medicines but not for the recommended time, So I believe I'm probably immune to them. Do yeast infections cause any more serious problems other than itching and discomfort?

Yes, you can get ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and other types of cancers. Having a yeast infection is like not washing off when you come home from school or work, and all of the sweat that is down in the pubic area can get into your vagina, and cause these very serious problems. One infection is a disease called Pelvic Inflammotary Disease or PID. It's a disease that like a yeast infection is cause by bad bacteria, but is worse, because if left untreated can cause your fallopian tubes, ovaries, and cervix to stop working properly, and can cause infertility, which means you can't have any children. This disease can also cause death. I know all of this, not because I'm a doctor, but because I've experience this, and it is not a good feeling. So, always and forever, everyday, you need to wash up, day and night, unless for some reason you don't have running water in your house, then you should be able to do this. I am still suffering from the antibotics that I took for the PID, and this is no joke. And no one, (not even guys) are immune to yeast infections. So, please, please listen to me, and I hope that this helps you, and take care!
P.S. Also do a google.com search or a ask.com search, and type in yeast infections. You'll get all the information you need about this serious infection.

Constant yeast infections can cause a secondary infection which you want to avoid. Nystatin is the drug of choice for yeast infections but it takes a long time to get over one. Avoid yeast breads, mushrooms, and other things that cause the infection. Keep the affected areas very clean and DRY. They grow in warm, moist areas so perspiration makes them worse. Eat plain live culture yogurt every day. Buttermilk helps too.

No but you can pass them back and forth if you are sexually active. You really should see the doc to be sure this is what it is and use something other than the creams. Also eat lots of yogurt with live active cultures or take acidophillus capsules daily to help prevent them. Wear only 100% cotton underwear and don't sleep with underwear on, do not douche or use feminine sprays, lotions or soaps in this area, do sit around in wet bathing suits, shower instead of using a bath, if you must use a tub no bubble baths etc, avoid tight pants and use a pad instead of a tampon if you think you have a yeast infection.

Frequent yeast infections is one symptom of diabetes. Please go see your doctor. Whatever the cause is, you need to get this checked out.

You definitely need to evaluate what may be causing them.
Allergies to soaps, detergents can cause them.
Use laundry detergent that says its free of perfumes& dyes
I finally had to stop use regular soap down there and bought Summer's Eve Feminine Wash, it smells great and is ph balanced so it won't cause one.
Try that and see if it helps.
