Yeast Infection problem ?

OK so Im 21 years old, I want to say ever since I was 13 I have been getting Yeast infections about 1 or 2 a month sometimes I wont get one one month. (12 months a year) So I have done everything in the book take off Swim suit as soon as possible, Don’t ware undies to bed, only ware cotton ones, only clean V once a day, eat yogurt, use special soaps, Dial, catis something, Cant spell the name lol, ummm after Sex go clean, yeast treatments over the counter. I’ve been to doctors 6 times a year about it and they just tell me im just one of those people, Ive been tested for Diabetes don’t have it.

I would look at how you clean yourself first of all, your mention of soap set off a few alarm bells, your vagina is self-cleaning, all you ever need to use on your vagina to stay clean is plain water, then use your hand to wash between your labia. Anything else – soap, washes, wipes, sprays, perfume, etc. will interfere with natural vaginal pH which in turn will throw off the natural balance of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria within the vagina causing vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis. This is also true of so-called ‘feminine’ products such as Summers Eve that play on women’s insecurities about vaginal scent and attempt to suggest vagina’s should smell like flower, just like anything else chemical these products aren’t good for vaginal health. Soaps also cannot tell the difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria, so will kill off both leaving your vagina open to infection, washing will also strip the vagina of essential fluids that are there as part of the self-cleaning functions which wash out excess ‘bad’ bacteria and dead cells and keep the walls of the vagina protected from damage, infection and disease. Soap, washes, wipes, sprays, perfume, etc. will contain a cocktail of different chemical ingredients, all of which potentially can cause sensitivity or allergic reactions, scented products can contain up to an addition 100 chemical ingredients. Many chemicals within commercial toiletry products are potentially harmful to long-term general health, as the vagina is made up of mucosa which is similar to skin but without it’s top protective layer it means that it is more prone to irritation and absorption of these harmful chemicals which can have a long-term affect on health of your body on the whole. On the whole using soap could be causing the problem over the long term.

Another major cause which many women are not aware of their choices in menstrual product, I suffered myself from constant yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis while using tampons and commercial pads. When I stopped using them and started using cups I stopped getting the infections and have been infection-free for the past six years, when I went into sexual health I learned why this was. Tampons are the most harmful option as they absorb vaginal fluids, leave fibres in vaginal walls, contain harmful chemicals, and encourage bacterial growth, risks associated with tampons are far more than TSS, they are a major cause of vaginal infections in women, as well as damaging the health of the vagina in general, commercial brands such as Tampax contain ingredients that have a similar affect on vaginal pH as soaps would thus have similar risks. Commercial tampons can also be a big issue, because they are made from synthetics they do not allow aeration thus making your vulva moist, warm and sweaty which is perfect for bacterial and yeast growth, furthermore chemicals within the pads will affect vaginal pH leading to further problems. You can lower the risk by switching to organic tampons or pads, if a tampon user you would totally eliminate the risks by switching to menstrual cups or softcups which are far safer and more hygienic, if a pad user you’d be better off with cloth pads, padded panties, or period belts.

Sex is another thing, you mention cleaning after sex but nothing about sexual activity or safety. Firstly do you use condoms? If so then condoms, spermicide or lubrication could be the problem, particularly if using anything containing the likes of Nonoxynol 9 which is notorious for causing problems – switching to different brands of condoms or different types such as those without this type of lubrication or made from different materials. I’m assuming you have been tested for STI’s that could be contributing to the problem, but lets say you don’t use condoms – semen can cause similar problems. Semen has a different pH to the vagina, so the sudden change in vaginal pH caused by semen within the vagina can throw everything off balance without giving the vagina a chance to get back on top of things and even itself out, thus infections can occur – this happens a lot with cases of bacterial vaginosis, some women also find certain partners cause more of a problem than others, so another idea is to use protection and get your current infection dealt with to see if it makes a difference. Yeast infections aren’t STI’s however can be passed back and forth between partners, just like bacterial vaginosis and urinary tract infections, so it may be worth looking down that path if you haven’t already. Also then the obvious issue – food in sex, anything sugary put down there will cause problems so lay off the whipped cream and chocolate sauce for now. Also yes look at diet, you may not be diabetic but you could be consuming too many refined sugars or alcohol!

There are many possibilities, it’s just a case of looking around until you find what may be the cause – yes some women do tend to be prone to it, but that’s a cop-out doctors give for a lot of women’s problems, they gave that answer to me when I had constant infections, yet I found the cause and dealt with it myself. I would recommend checking out some general women’s sexual health web sites and books, it certainly wouldn’t hurt even if you don’t find anything to help you with this problem, I would also recommend checking out natural living communities – seriously, most people think these guys are just hippies but they are a hell of a lot better educated than a lot of people on various subjects, I can pretty much guarantee you that they’ll be able to help.
