Yeast Infection FeedbackPlease help others by adding your feedback. What would you tell someone who has a yeast infection? Please remember that we do not give medical advice. That is for your local health care provider, who is familiar with your medical history.Subj: Infection? Date: 9/19/2008 Hi, I'm not sexually active but I tend to get yeast infections whenever my boyfriend fingers me. I had one two months ago then took over the counter cream medication and it cleared it up. Now I think I have it again. Are my boyfriend's fingers giving me an infection? Izzy AskDocWeb: That is quite possible and would seem to be likely. Subj: Extreme irritation Date: 10/10/2008 Please help, every time I get my period, it feels like I get a yeast infection. I got extreme irritation around the vaginal entrance and all the symptoms of yeast, the feeling hot, the itching everywhere even in my butt. I treat it with diflucon and it goes away but everytime I get my period it comes back. I changed my pads and tampons and still. Help what can I do to stop this from happening? Amelia AskDocWeb: You might take time to review the common causes of yeast infection. Compare the list with your situation and behavior to see what might be in common. Subj: Water and hydrogen peroxide Date: 10/30/2008 I had my first yeast infection and I went to the ER and was give the 3 day treatment. After that I'm still itchy down there. I dont have the discharge just the itch. I was wondering if anyone has tried the water and hydrongen peroxide treatment. Thank you in advance! Ms Curious AskDocWeb: One reader reported good results with a once a day water and hydrogen peroxide douche and said to continue for one day after the symptoms disappear. Subj: Pass a yeast infection? Date: 12/1/2008 While on fluconazole can you still pass a yeast infection to your male parter... and what about oral sex? Sarah AskDocWeb: It is possible to pass on the yeast infection until you complete treatment. There is no danger of passing on the infection by oral sex if the male is on the receiving side but for the other way around, it could be unpleasant until after treatment. Subj: Passing infection back and forth? Date: 2/6/2009 Is it normal for a yeast infection to go away and then come back? I seem to have yeast infections a lot and it's been going on for years. I was asked by my Dr if I normally had a high discharge and I said usually yes. She said if so then it wasn't anything to worry about. But when it starts to itch really bad then I consider it a yeast infection. Is there a difference between the two? I am not over weight, and physically am pretty athletic. But I would say have at least 4 if not more yeast infections a year. I've been with my husband for 7 years and never really had these problems since being with him, so maybe we are passing it back and forth? We are trying to get pregnant now so I guess things I have dismissed in the past are more concerning me now. Also when I get my period each month follows by about 12 days from the previous months start date. Though I've never been regular besides when on the pill is this ok? Kirsten AskDocWeb: Yes, it is possible to pass a yeast infection back and forth. You might want to review the causes of yeast infection and consider if any of those apply to you. Subj: I'm thrilled Date: 3/24/2009 I had recurring yeast infections for 30 years. Nothing seemed to make them go away for long, even large lengthy doses of Diflucan, which seemed to trigger other problems like bladder infections and diverticulitis. Turned out I have Celiac disease and in 10 months of being gluten-free I've not had one yeast infection. I'm thrilled. I have a diabetic friend who had the same problem until she completely eliminated sugar. Not easy solutions, but worth it. Niane Subj: I really hate to be such a bother Date: 4/7/2009 Please help. I was scheduled for a hysterectomy and a bladder tack, but about 2 weeks before got a cold and had a couple rounds of celestone shots and rocephyn shots plus avalox pills by mouth before the surgery. While I was in the hospital, I began itching and informed the OB/GYN but he felt it was from the pain pump and gave me some harmone cream when I came home. I used it for a week or so and the itching got worse and I began discharging really bad and called the doctor back after a couple of weeks in tears. He had me come in and felt I had a UTI and his nurse did a cath in the office, which caused me to have bladder spasms along with the yeast. When she did the cath, she nearly screamed when she saw what a shape I was in down there and ran and got the doctor and he then discovered that I had the yeast. I have gone through 4 rounds of the power pill, 4 rounds of .4 mg. cream with no relief. I called my pharmacist today and he feels that I may have this stuff in my blood stream and need to call the ob/gyn back. I really hate to be such a bother to him since I go back for my next check up on the 13th, but I am miserable. Do you have any suggestions? I am wondering sometimes, did I get a staph in the hospital or what? Wow, this is miserable. Thanks so much for any help offered. Jamie AskDocWeb: Many staph infections do occur in hospitals so that is a real possibility. You might find it helpful to consider the fact that your doctor is getting paid to perform a service. It is not a bother for your doctor to perform additional services, that is their profession. It is their job to provide you with medical services so don't be concerned about being a bother. Some cases are more complicated or interesting than others are and you may be giving them a challenge that they appreciate. Subj: Every four month Date: 4/14/2009 Hi, I have had recurring yeast. It started after I spent with another man other than my husband and I now get it like after every four month mostly after my monthly period. I have since gone for HIV test which turned negative. Please assist this problem is just annoying. Susan AskDocWeb: We will have to pass this one on to readers. Does anyone have an idea why this would only show up every four months? Subj: Recurrent yeast Date: 4/21/2009 Went on tri sprintec- recurrent yeast- been off for 4 months now chronic irritation (at least 3 months)- burning, got biopsy- states chronic inflammation- given sterod cremes- what is it?? The pain is constant and overwhelming. Tada Subj: Vaginal infection Date: 5/18/2009 My boyfriend got an upset stomache and diarhea after oral sex. I just got a check and had a vaginal infection two weeks ago. I took antibiotics for 7 full days. Kelli AskDocWeb: Hopefully you learned a valuable lesson about avoiding oral sex when you have a vaginal infection. Subj: I notice this Date: 5/27/2009 I have a yeast infection, I think it cleared up, but I notice this after I started my period. Do this mean it's gone? Kelly AskDocWeb: What was it that you noticed? Subj: Got the same symptoms, again Date: 5/30/2009 I got a yeast infection a few days after I had sex. I was treated with the oral med and it was cleared up. I than had sex again with the same person and 4-5 days later got the same symptoms and they were intensified. I got the 7 day cream treatment and was curious if my boyfriend is giving back the infection to me? If so what types of meds should he be taking so we both can be clear and have a normal sex life? Bonnie AskDocWeb: Yes, it is possible to pass a yeast infection back and forth between partners. Even men who have no symptoms may harbor yeast organisms, especially in the foreskin of an uncircumcized penis. Men should be encouraged to wash thoroughly and use an antifungal cream on their genitals. Subj: Yeast odor Date: 9/29/2009 My husband has a yeast like yeast oder in his genital area and no matter how many times he washes it does not go away. No other symtoms that generally go along with yeast infections other than he has had adult acne that flares up from time to time which has a very different oder that is even more unplesant. He is 63 years old - any help would be so nice thank you. N AskDocWeb: It may require something a little stronger than just soap and water to get rid of a yeast infection. You might ask your pharmacist to recommend something over-the-counter or talk to your doctor. Yeast Infection report - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - Last Page 6 If you find this page useful share it with others.
