I have asked similar questions like this before and have done hours of research on the internet, and so has my older sister since she has the same problem. Anyway EVERY SINGLE time I have sex ( and I have had sex with 4 different guys in my life) anyway, EVERY time I get a yeast infection, so bad…that it takes months to cure it. I get all the best creams in the world, eat a ton of yogurt, take the right kind of vitamins for it to bring my body back to normal and eliminate chances of more yeast growth…I wear loose clothes and pads if I have my period, I keep the area dry, I stay away from foods with yeast, I drink this special tea imported from Europe that is really hard to get..etc…
So I have sex and then get the yeast infections and then wait a year after healing myself like crazy, and then when I have sex again after a year.. I am back to where I started. ITS SOO FRUSTRATING!! Gyno’s dont give me any good advice and I am desperate. Are my sister and I carrying some bad gene?
I just want to know if this is normal, if me and my sister carry some kind of gene that makes us so sensitive down there and so prone to yeast infections..or if this will eventually pass when I reach my late 20′s and my hormones change
I am not diabetic..and I sometimes use and sometimes don’t use condoms. Same applies for my sister
well you mentioned the vitamins and the yogurt but you never mentioned anything about taking the right anti-biotic, one effective one would be daktacort or daktarine cream (vaginal use 2%) the tube is white and green, scientific name is miconazole. but in your case and since it is severe, i will advise you to use gyno-daktarin; it looks like a suppository that you would insert in your vagina, you put it at night while you are sleeping and layed down, if you put it during the day the medication will sip out and you wouldn’t get the whole benifit. don’t use it while you have your period for the same reason(will be flushed out of your body with blood).wear a night pad coz it is going to be messy anyway.
get the srongest concentration gynodaktarin 400 mg and use it for 3 consecutive days( the pharmasist and the doctor will tell yuo to use it once but based on on-line reaserch and personal experience, you can use it as frequent as you need. for maximum effect place the suppos i your vagina and apply the cream on the outter part of your vagina(clitoris and labia’s)
you will be cured in three days or a max of one week .
meanwhile you have to make sure within this week or 3 days to :1- use a new fresh towel each time you dry yourself down there not to cross-infection
2- wash your underwear with hot water dry it in the sun or iron it to kill all the germs that could be still there. washing in cold water is not enough you cant kill all the germs only by washing you should apply heat
3- don’t cross towels you and your sister
4- wash always after intercourse only with warm water inside your vagina and don’t apply antiseptics coz it will kill your normal flora (your immunity on the wall of vagina) and make you more prone and succiptable to infection. wash the outer part with soap only
5-use the gynodaktarin of a less concentration i think it’s 100mg once a month profilactically ( just in case)
after you clear you find sometimes white discharge around the time when you are going to have your period don’t worry itnis normal it is only your vagina cleaning itself.
if you are having a sex partner at the moment he should also take dactacort tablets or an anti fungual medication coz usually guys can be carriers with no symptoms.
same rule applies if you are thinking about getting together with any of your old bf coz they will give it back to you.
