Recurring Infections: Time to visit the ob/gyn again?

I’ve had on and off yeast infections for the past 3-4 years, and they keep recurring! Occasionally, I see some small single bumps on my bikini area, but I shave, so I can’t always tell if they are ingrown hairs as a result. I’m worried again because I’ve noticed this time that my vagina feels a little bumpier than usual inside. Every STI test (covers HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, i.e.) that I’ve taken is negative and the herpes tests costs a great deal, so I haven’t gotten it done. But why does this keep happening? I’m really nervous about this and REALLY need advice on what treatments to seek out ASAP. I certainly do not want to infect my partner, so PLEASE I need advice! Thank you!

This is my general response to yeast infection related issues:

If your discharge is white or curdy like cottage cheese
If your vagina itches or feels sore ( like it was rubbed hard with fabric type sore)
The itchyness differ from the lips, to where your clit is to that small area from in between your but and vagina
Feeling of peeing more than usual?
Chances are you may have Yeast infection or even Bacterial Vaginosis

For meds, just go to Walmart, CVS, Walgreens or Target or talk to a school nurse

One way to check is to get a mirror, look down there and open the lips a little to see if there’s that white little balls of discharge hiding

Yeast infection is common for most girls and even babies and men. Its not an STD and girls get it by:
1. Immune system is down
2. After taking antibiotics or after being treated for UTI
3. Before or after Pregnancy or period due to the change of body temperature and hormones
4. Wearing clothes ( pants or panties) that or too tight or wearing damp baiting suit too long
5. If you are diabetic and eat too much sweets
6. Allergic reaction to your panty or panti liner that can cause a rash in your vagina
7. You lose the natural moisturizing or flora in your vagina
8. Women has the possibility of passing it to their baby ( if you have yeast infection when giving birth) or partners but its not exactly an STD. Its more of an fungal infection

Now some women can have yeast infection and have just slight itching and no discharge yet, some has discharge and no itching, so how the symptoms shows varies.

Yeast lives in our body, and it thrives and goes into overdrive mode on warm moist places like your vagina. And if you happen to have a huge amount of sweet/sugar in your diet, that basically is something your yeast loves too.

Depending on a persons immune system, yeasts go away naturally.
Medication varies, there’s the very strong Diflucan which is doctor prescribed and there’s the over the counter Monistat which is a vaginal suppository ( meaning inserted in your vagina)
Depending on your age, if you are pregnant or not and if you are under age of 15 or virgin, the type of medication differs. SO DO NOT SELF Medicate

Also on using Monistat just a precaution, the first time you can or may get a burning feeling especially on the first try. For some women its bad, for others its not that bad.
Chances why it burns, either its because you scratched yourself raw down there or your sensitive to the med.
You have a choice to switch to something else after aking a doc or wait it out. But Monistat is the most commonly prescribed

Now as a reminder, Bacterial Vaginosis or UTI has the same symptoms as yeast infection ( or it is caused by a severe yeast infection) but may get worse, in fact chances if you have these symptoms:
1. Thick yellowy to green discharge
2. Severe itching from outside the vagina to the inside
3. pain in lower abdomen or lower back ( where your kidneys are
4. In severe cases chills and fatigue ( feeling really tired)
5. Sure way to know is if your discharge has a cheesy or fishy smell
6. if your discharge is sweet or fruity smelling get a test for diabetes
7. a UTI common symptom is having a tingling or painful feeling when pee-ing or having mini- orgasms on some cases
8. Small pimple like bumps down there are actually a form of bacterial infections.
Shaving can cause small scrapes and cuts that becomes an opening for infections and such.

You may want to have yourself checked for Ovarian Cysts and HPV

Causes for UTI is also a bacterial infection, due to your diet, poor hygiene, too much salty food in your diet and/or holding your pee too much. Sometimes it can be transferred by sex if you partner has a poor hygiene too.

Then chances are you may have Bacterial Vaginosis… you need to see a doctor for this for a different medicine

Then you can also get a Fungal infection, cause by an open rash in your vagina…and it goes hand in hand with yeast infection or if your vagina is too dry and it losses the “natural” moisturizing it needs. Again, just see a doctor for this
The medicine for the Fungal Infection is Miconazole Lidocaine Neo-Penotran Forte and thats a prescribed medicine too. Its also used for Yeast infection

Now if you wanna do some preventive measures for yeast infection, here’s the FF

1. Wear clean cotton undies
2. Drink lots of liquid, less soda and lessen the sweets
3. Try wearing unscented pantiliners and change clean undies often at least 2 x a day
4. Do NOT DOUCHE unless a doctor tells you so
5. Eat lots of yougurt ( the real type) or drink Yakult ( Lactobacilli is your tummy and vagina’s good vitamins)
6. Avoid wearing tight fitting pants or undies for long periods of time
7. Dont wash your genitals with harsh soaps, and if you do wash, wash with cold water. One way is just to run a glass of cod water down there after you pee and gently wipe with a damp cold tissue
8. Do not
