frusterationg problem

Okay, just a warning that this is kind of gross, but it is a girl thing, so I decided to post it here.

I keep getting infections. Nothing serious, just your typical yeast infection. But I shower every day and keep myself clean and take vitamins and everything. I just don't understand why I keep getting them.

At first I thought it was cuz my bf gave me oral, so I stopped letting him do that even though it feels so so so great. But I still get the infections. Does this mean that there could be bigger problems?

I'm so sick of being sick. If it isn't a head cold it's allergies and if it's not that it's something going on with my stomach or another type of infection. This fucking sucks. Maybe I should just become the next bubble girl. Whatcha think gals?

well if you have sex with your bf while having the infection, you could just be passing it back and forth. men can get it too if the girl has it. they need to use a yeast infection cream as well, when you are treating yourself. as for oral, i doubt you can get it from that. its also not from a lack of showering. my aunt once told me, that due to reactions to breads(yeast) she would get infections from them. so she had to stop eatting them. anyhoo, treat yourself and your bf. good luck

Nymph is right. Also if you swim alot or take baths in the same bathtub a lot. Eat lots of yogurt!! My daughter kept getting yeast infections from the swimming pool at the Y and wearing her bathing suite and the doctor said to give her lots of yogurt and goats milk.

I'll tell him to go get checked out. But we haven't had sex without a condom ever. So hopefully he didn't get it. Thanks girls.

Here you go, I got some info for you. :thumbsup:

Is it common?
Yeast infections are the second most common type of vaginal infection women experience (bacterial vaginosis is the most common). Over 70% of women develop at least one yeast infection during their life and over 40% of women have had more than one infection.

What causes yeast infections?
Factors that may disturb the vagina's balance include:

Antibiotic treatments
Oral contraceptives
Hot weather or non-ventilating clothing, which increase moisture and warmth, fostering fungal growth
Repeated intercourse over a short period of time
Stress
Suppressed immune system (including HIV)
High carbohydrate intake, especially refined sugars and alcohol
Pregnancy
Diabetes
Other causes can be irritants such as soaps, powders, new detergents and other products

What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of a typical yeast infection may include:

Vaginal itching
Vaginal irritation
Thick, white, possibly curd-like vaginal discharge
Redness, swelling, and/or cracking of the vulvar skin
Burning sensation during urination
Itching of the rectal opening
Pain during sexual intercourse.
