Ok, serious problem. I keep getting vaginal yeast infections. I am on my 3rd in the past 6 weeks:( Im taking acidophilus, upon the over the counter creams, but they just keep coming. My doctor has perscribed the diflucan over and over and keeps me stocked with a ten day supply at all times.....YES 10 DAYS supply. The regular two days doesn't do it for me. I never had this problem before WTF? It has only been this bad sense my LTBF of two years. Could i be allerigic to him? Its to the point i feel after everytime we have sex i have to run to the bathroom to wash. Anyone have an idea whats going on?

Something so simple that most ppl over look when it comes to recurrent yeast infections is that they also need to treat there parnters. You can just pass it back and forth without realizing it. Your best bet is to also treat him with an over the counter yeast infection cream too. He may not like it but for your well being its best. My hubby learned a few years back when I was also having recurrent infections and finally I said enoughs enough either use this cream or never touch me again. Well needless to say he used the cream and problem solved!
Hope this helps!
Are you diabetic? People with diabetes (or HIV) often have recurring yeast infections.
My doctor has told me to eat yogurt and to wear cotton or silk panties to keep from getting yeast infections. Yogurt has bacteria that can help prevent the overgrowth of yeast, and cotton or silk underwear breathe and don't allow moisture to stay close to your skin.
Also, what kind of birth control do you use? I find that I get more yeast infections when I'm on the pill than when I am not.
Good luck, I know yeast infections are very annoying!!

Greetings and Welcome lifly23,

Lifly,
It would be best to give your doctor a call-I'm not really sure of the best way for his treatment. Perhaps one of the other ladies will have another answer.
LOL and Thanks Katie, I had no idea how to answer lifly23.
Have you given any thought to the co-cl position?
