sex ..with a yeast infection??
18f.
I've had this yeast infection for probably 4 months now, it just won't go away, SO IRRITATING!
I've been to the doctor 3 times, she prescribed me medicine, didn't work. She then referred me to a gyno to look at things closer -only to tell me what i knew, it was just a yeast infection. i've been to the gyno 2 times already and the medicine still isn't working. she tells me to try it and if it doesn't go away, just come back.
But what i'm really asking is ..would it be bad for me to have sex, with a condom, while having this yeast infection? It just sucks because it's not going away no matter what they give me and i'm sick of waiting.
PLUS, my boyfriend is leaving for college in like two weeks, and obviously I wanna have sex before he goes off and leaves. It's just so frustrating, what do you guys think? Has anyone had sex with a yeast infection? Is it gross, dangerous?
Anything will be appreciated :)

It will hurt! Trust me, I've been through this. Not only that, but your boyfriend CAN actually get an infection from you too. Weird but true! Maybe this is a sign that you need to back off from sex for now. Your body is telling you to wait. In the meantime, keep taking the medecine (don't stop until you used it ALL. Even if it seems like the infection has gone away its still lurking inside), keep yourself clean and as dry as possible. Change panties often and if you work out or work up a sweat, change as soon as possible. Moisture is your biggest enemy when it comes to a yeast infection. And start eating yogurt. Lots of yogurt. It will help provide your body with the good bacteria needed to fight the bad bacteria. Good luck!

Generaly yeast infections are not contagious. But, about 15% of men get itching, burning and develope a rash.
There may be an unplesant smell which may dampen the mood.
Sounds like you need some changes in your life to stop this.
There are lots of diets to stop yeast iinfections or candida online. Check them out. You might want to try some homemade cures. One of the easiest is insertion of yogurt. (Avoid the fruited kind, :-) Somewhat messy, but effective in a few days. Wear a pad while doing this.
Adding yogurt with active yogurt cultures to your diet every few days may be enough to keep the infection down.
If you and your BF don't already have a sexual relationship, I'd not start one now. College brings so many changes.
