I was going to respond a couple of nights ago but realized I was under the wrong profile too late. See the little goLEATHER "oops" up there. That's a name I control for a group I'm in down here, don't use it for personal stuff, just to post announcements and all. Annnyyywaaaaaay - sheeesh! You guys are worry warts! To put your minds all at ease:
1) My partner and I are monogomous sexually and both well varified as disease free so if it was anything other than a yeast infection, it beats me where it came from.
2) I have never had a yeast infection or the symptoms of one before in my life but when I searched for the symptoms, that "cottage cheese" thing came up (talk about not wanting to eat cottage cheese ever again.) So that and the itching were my only noticeable symptoms and like I said, within 3 days or less it was completely gone. Actually it was gone mostly after one day with only a little residual itching.
3) We didn't use anything that I could be allergic to considering I am fully sure I'm not allergic to our condoms, lube, or toys.
4) When looking up the causes of yeast infections I found this website from Brown University, so pretty reliable:

http://www.brown.edu/Student_Services/Health_Services/Health_Education/general_health/wh_yeast.htm

It says that among other things "Hot weather or non-ventilating clothing, which increase moisture and warmth, fostering fungal growth and
Repeated intercourse over a short period of time"

can cause yeast infections.

Now considering we went at it quite a number of times in just one weekend, in Miami where it's hotter than hell and humid as the rain forrest, I think the chances that I got a mild yeast infection are pretty likely. Then it went away on it's own, which I actually read a bit about and sources say that they do tend to go away on their own in healthy people it's just that some women are bothered so that they seek treatment.

As for the yogurt up the wazzoo, that's true and a good treatment as long as you use the non-flavored, non-sugar kind. It's usually labeled as "plain." Considering I only had some peach flavored at work I decided to eat it rather than put it up there. I'm not sure how eating it helps a yeast infection but it seemed to. As for helping other things when taking antibiotics, yes, that's true as well.

As for you Domi, I'm sorry but you're officially not invited to my pussy easter bar-b-que.

Well, I was told by a pharmisist to eat yogurt to keep the antibiotic from causing a yeast infection which it did very well as far as it not getting from the stomach to the vagina well anything we eat can get in our blood stream and well that is how it helps yeast infections I have never tried it up my wazoo as some have said and I like yogurt a little to much to put it anywhere else but my mouth

But as many have said it is a good idea to go to the doc and get it checked. As for the clothes thing I was watching a Tyra Banks show....the only one I have ever watched....but anyways she had a gyno on there that said the best thing for you to do is to not wear underwear when you are going to sleep it helps your stuff breath and keeps bacteria from growing.

I used to work in a bakery, and yeast infections seemed to be an occupational hazard. They do seem to respond to "yogurt eating" and I take acidophilus pills whenever I get a yeast infection after taking anti-biotics. It clears up in a day or to. I rarely do any direct, topical treatment and haven't been to the Dr. about them since I was 17 when I got my first one. Sometimes, I get them after my period, and they go away on their own though, I eat a lot of yogurt as a matter of course.

So, it makes sense to me that it responded to eating yogurt especially if your system is generally healthy and supportive of healthy bacteria.

i've had chronic yeast infections since i was born, some people are just more prone to them...actually my body can't manage itself at all, on any given day, if you did a culture on me, you'd find either too much yeast or bacteria, they just don't seem to balance. i noticed i was getting alot of discharge and irritation when i was having sex and just chalked it up to a yeast infection, but after years of this i knew that just couldn't be it. i talked to my NP in depth and was told that some women who's PH is very borderline anyway can end up with irritation due to her partner's fluids being more basic than her own more acidic fluids, and also from having more fluid all together...just like some women get irritated around their period from the constant wetness. those factors, along with the general irritation from friction can cause some problems. i've found that using the bathroom right after sex and using a water bottle (the kind with the pull up nipple looking top...that you can pull up with your teeth you know?) filled with warm water to wash the peri area to remove excess fluids and drying myself very well helps quite a bit. if i'm not somewhere that the squirt clean method is handy i always have femine hygine wet wipes on hand to clean up as best i can. cleaning and drying very well are for sure key. actually, if i really feel like i'm started to get really irritated, i'll take a quick shallow bath (no soap on the girl parts, or if you must, use baby soap and rinse well) and then i gently blow dry down there. it seems strange, but dryness is sooo important! as others have stated yogurt helps...but i'm lactose intolerant, so sometimes it doesn't agree with me so i just buy the actual "good bacteria" that are found in yogurt...take a couple of those every day and it's all good! also....very important...don't use anything around your genitals that has any form of sugar in it, any sweeteners of any kind, including some lubes and condoms, especially the flavored ones, those can make matters much worse! after 26 years of living in constant fear of infections i have other tips and tricks...but these are some good ones specific to this topic.
