Painful sex?
I have been sexually active for around 3 months, and ever since then I've had a yeast infection before/during my period every time. The first time I was diagnosed and my doctor wrote me a perscription, but these past few times I just go to Rite Aid and buy whatever to get rid of the itch. Recently, I've been having a severe sharp pain when having sex. This isn't due to lack of lubrication, either. It's not really a tightening pain it's almost as if it were burning. It's completely unbearable. I've bled a little a few times as well. Is this serious? What should I do to get rid of the pain?

Yeast infections are contagious and can be passed back and forth between you and your partner. So most likely this is why the yeast infection keeps coming back. What you need to do if you want this to stop is go back to the doctor and get the medicine he or she prescribes you. Also, you need to be honest with your partner, because there is a chance that he's having the same issues. Make sure he gets the medicine he needs also, and make sure not to have sex until you are both cured.

Neither symptoms are normal at all and there is no reason why you should have to put up with them. Go to your GYN and explain all this and she'll figure out what is really going on.

I think that you really need to stop having sex until this is gone. It is not safe for you or your partner. Yoy might have the wrong perscription and should see a doctor.

You need to see a doctor right away and make sure you get a proper diagnosis. Maybe the yeast infection did not get cleared up. You could be passing it back and forth between you and your boyfriend. Are you using condoms? Some people can have allergies to certain types or to the spermicide. Still, you are better off using condoms to prevent serious diseases. Please refrain from sex (especially unprotected) at least until you get to the doctor for a recheck. Sexual activity opens you up to an array of potential problems, so be aware.
