Yeast Infection
I use Spermicidal condoms. Everytime after I have sex it seems liek I'll end up with a yeast infection. I heard your suppose to "pee" before and right after sex. I do that and still I end up with a yeast infection more times than not. Do you think its the spermicide on the condoms or maybe an allegy to latex? If any1 else has had this problem what type of condom do you perfer? Thank You so much for your time!

Maybe give some free advice about: Condoms?
Actually, you shouldn't be using spermacidal condoms. Although they seem like a good idea and are wildly popular in the US, spermacide is widely known to cause vaginal irritation that actually increases your risk of contracting STDs.

You could be allergic to either the spermicide or the latex. Try using just plain lubricated condoms and see if it helps. If you're fine after that, it's probably an allergy to the spermicide, otherwise it's probably the latex.

Try switching condom brands if your having this problem, maybe your allergic to latex.

If you let your boyfriend perform anal sex on you, you have to change the condom before going in vaginally. If it's not that then I dunno.

maybe your allergic to laytex.

Anytime you mess with the little bacteria that hang out in your vagina, you run the risk of a yeast infection or other unhappy and uncomfortable results. I would see a doctor about the yeast infection in case it is something else. It supposedly does help to pee after sex. Before doesn't matter. You could try just switching brands, and that might help. There are other types of condoms for those allergic to latex, but they are not as good as blocking STDs.

Chances are your condoms have Nonxinal-9 as their spermicide; many women have reactions to this, from mild discomfort to itching to rashes.
How do you know what you've been expericing is a yeast infection? The only way to know for sure is by going to a doctor - they can tell you if the smell, lumpy discharge, and itching are due to a yeast infection. If you're not experiencing any of those symptons, I think it's safe to say you do not have a yeast infection.
If these 'infections' are only occuring after sex, then the sex has something to do with it. it could be the spermicide, the latex, or the beginnings of urinary tract infections. If you are experiencing a burning feeling when you pee, then it is a UTI - again, you'll need to see a doctor.
You should probably see a doctor, anyway. Just to check things out & possibly find out about a second form of birth control. Condoms are not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, though I applaud you for using them to lessen the rish of pregnany or STD transmission.

well my friend said that yu shuld alwaiz wipe yu`rself after sex cuz yu can get an yeast affection i mean i reallii dun kno buh thas wha she told me -haley

okay i dont think its the spremicide. you may be allergic to latex. i am and many women in my family are. if it burns after sex or during, it is definitely the larex. personally i dont use any condoms, i use birth control. but some women in my family use lamb skin condoms. they are kinda expensive, but they work just as well if your trying not to get pregnant. they dont prevent you from getting stds though. non-latex dont prevent stds either. only latex condoms do. if i were you i would try the lamb skin condoms and see how they work with you. if you still have problems, you may not be getting yeast infections, you body may be reacting to sexual intercourse because you have an std , if the condoms dont change what is happening to you, i suggest you go get checked out.
