no condom, same man, still a problem???
| Mon, 01-30-2006 - 4:38pm |
For the past year i have only had one sexual partner. We never use a condom, but i am aware that you may get pregant even if the man doesn't ejaculate inside of you. What i would like to know are what other risks am i taking without using a condom besides stds, or pregnancy??? Does having sex without a condom make you more capable of getting a yeast infection?? if not what are some other risks? thank you for your time.

I guess it could make you more prone to yeast infections and bacterial infections as well as urinary tract infections.
Hi g_boo,
Some hormonal contraceptives can cause some women to have more YIs. Did you start or change BCPs about the time you began having more frequent YIs? Have you had a medical diagnosis so you are sure you are treating the problem with the correct medicine?
For a good article on YIs see: Vaginal Yeast Infections: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001511.htm and
Yeast Infections and Yogurt: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001964.htm
If you have more questions, please ask. Do let us know how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
