Question by betta: Vaginal yeast infection question: I had 3 outbreaks lately following intercourse. What may possibly be causing them?
I started seeing a man lately. We had intercourse on 5 seperate occasions over the last two months and on three of those I created vaginal yeast infections a couple of days after the intercourse. Could it be associated to some form of STD?
I have not been sexually active prior to this partner for about a year. Just before that I have had yeast infections on a couple of occasions but not back to back like this. I am extremely concerned.

you need to be asking a doctor these qurstions.
ewwwwwwwww
I can tell you this, most of the time, the guy has a yeast infection and doesnt even know it. So he probably has one and keeps giving it to you. He needs to treat it or you will continue to get them. Also, I dont want to upset you, but ususally men get them from women, is he exclusive with you? He may be seeing other woman.
If your partner was not treated when you were treated then the two of you keep passing the infection back and forth to each other. It could be an STD instead of a yeast infection and your doctor would be the one who could tell you this and test for it. If you are self medicating yourself (Monistat) and you really didn’t have a yeast infection that could be the other reason the infection keeps coming back. You aren’t treating it with the correct medication.
I would go to your doctor. Don’t delay because actually this type of infection can spread into your fallopian tubes and caused PID Pelvic Inflammatory Disease which in turn can lead to infertility.
If you had sex with him while having a yeast infection.You can infact pass it back and forth between your partner.He needs to be treated as well as you do.Also,he could have other partners if you aren’t exclusive with each other.If they have a yeast infection,he can pass it on to you.You should have a talk with him about his sexual activity and whether he has other partners or not.I don’t think a simple yeast infection could be related to an std,but that is something to ask your gyenocologist.You might also want to be tested for std’s just to ease your mind.
It could be that he has a yeast infection. It is possible for guys to have them and not show symptoms. It’s not as much of an STD though. It could be that when you had sex for the first time with him that you had a yeast infection or the start of one. Since guys rarely think about that stuff he wouldn’t know to see his doctor. For guys I am not sure if the treatment is a cream or a pill but it doesn’t mean that either of you is disease ridden.
Not sounding mean or anything but it’s possible your guy isnt very clean.
Bacteria is what causes infections so if he isnt clean then when the both of you have sex then it obviously leaves bacteria inside.
make sure you take finish all your meds too. With antibiotics if you dont finish the meds like your supposed to then the infection becomes immune to the meds.
And you should really talk to your doctor about it… you dont want to continue suffering with yeast infections.
BTW- i have never heard of yeast infections being related to an STD
One cause could be irritation. Is there enough lubrication during sex? Yeast infections can be passed along through sex but it is very rare. If you have been wearing different panties lately, this could also be the cause. Materials like nylon could trap heat and cause moisture. I hope my answer was of some help. If nothing helps, talk to a doctor. Best of luck!
