uhhhh..quit having sex?
That second answer is a winner for sure! Don't be ignorant of the facts.
U need to stop having sex then.
Go ask your doctor. It isn't normal to keep getting a yeast infection. If you tried to clear it up, and it clears up,your partner needs tobe treated, too, because it can pass. Maybe that's why you keep getting them. Otherwise, I'd go ask your doctor on that one.
That is easy...Stop Having Sex.DUH! ;)
I get this too, when I start out with a new partner.Apparently this is common, when you are not used to someone, and it is a simple matter of getting used to them

u might be allergic with latex itself but just to make sure call in your doctor.
The doctor told my friend that her partner was to blame for her reaccuring yeast infections. Sure enough when she dumped him, she quit getting them (not sure about all his other girlfriends, though.)
It is something to think about.
This is pretty common among women actually. Make sure to urinate after sex - this can also help protect you from urinary infections. Also, clean yourself thoroughly after sex and make sure you are completely dry. If you are already rinsing yourself off afterwards, stay away from soaps as some soaps can actually help the yeast instead of killing it. You might also want to try eating more yogurt as it contains healthy bacteria that will protect against yeast infections.
Also, contrary to what others are saying, it's been proven that most of the time men don't need to be treated and usually don't pass yeast infections around. If your partner is complaining of any itching, redness, and/or burning he might want to try a couple applications of over the counter creams, but if he's not showing any signs, he's probably not carrying it.

lagnoon is very correct , your chemisty and his chemistry could be so different its your bodys way of recognizing it, and your body will take some time to get used to it. Also many ppl don't realize that men can get yeast infections also, transfered by sex. So you both need to be treated at the same time and refrain from sex until u get the all clear from the doc. Also you need to talk to your gyn about a full work up on std's. Many do not have any signs at all and resimble a yeast infection, i know from nasty painful experience. Clamadia affects like 2/3rds of the population ( something like that) and yet many ppl dont know they have it. There are often no signs until ppl come in complaining exactly like u r now, reoccurent "yeast infections" - myself including.Clamadia, if untreated can stop u from having children alltogether, and eventually youll haver pelvic inflamitory diaease and have to have a hysterectomy, its very important to seek help imediately. Good luck.oh also i forgot! there is a recent study that shows even washing ur panties in hot water doesnt kill some types of yeast infections, its best to throw the mac nasty panties in the trash!!
It's possible you're having a reaction to " nonoxynol 9" on the condoms or maybe your original yeast infection never totally went away.
