answers:

It is not possible for you to have Bacterial Vaginosis because you do not have a vagina.

Make sure she had an std check while getting tested for BV (which by the way isnt an std because it is not transmitted between partners)

answers:

Just hold off on sex until this is gone. Eat some plain yogurt for 2 weeks and get some probiotic capsules to take. Don’t get the antibiotics, let your body fight it off naturally. Use the cream if it helps reduce itchiness though, that can’t hurt.

answers:

Very possible. A hundred plus things have to be just right in order to get pregnant. The pH has to be just right as well, which bacteria could change.

answers:

The bacterial infection may cause urethritis in the male, but generally doesn’t cause problems in men. However, you may continue to transmit it back to her and she may continue to have bacterial vaginitis. It’s best for both of you to get treated at the same time, abstain from sex without a barrier until the doctor gives her a clean bill of health

answers:

You should always wipe front to back to not contaminate your vagina with fecal material.

If you wear thong underwear you increase your change of a bacterial infection.

You can try taking probiotics.

I would also recommend you get a second opinion.

Fungal infections can be treated with anti- fungal and antibiotic medications but often can be difficult to cure and may require long-term therapy.

answers:

LuckyLibra – Candida is short for Candida albicans, the name of a tiny fungus that is quite common. It can produce infections of the mouth (“thrush”) or vagina or intestines. To look at it, it produces a white covering or even a discharge. A stained “wet preparation” under the microscope can easily reveal many small, oval cells (fungi) with a single bud on the end of the cell. A lab culture of a simple smear will also give a positive result for easy identification. Such infections, especially in women, may recur. Fortunately, though annoying, it can be easily treated and cured each time.

answers:

Why not start with the home saliva test for candida? It won’t cost you anything and then perhaps you won’t be so insecure about the lab tests which are more specific.

This isn’t foolproof but it might help as a starting point.

1. Before going to bed tonight fill a clear glass about 3/4 full of water – leave it out on a flat surface

2. Tomorrow morning as soon as you get up – spit into the glass before you do anything else.

3. Watch the glass immediately so that you can track the saliva,

4. Make a mental note of the glass image at 3 minutes and again at 30 minutes. Your saliva should be floating at the top of the glass.

5. If it is not floating, if there are strings of saliva hanging down, it it sinks to the bottom it is not healthy. If the water is cloudy, you could have candida.

You can take a look at a diagram here:

Okay so if it floats, is not heavier than the water, you are fine, if not, you should be tested. No, there is little that can interfere with testing unless you are trying cleanses on your own. Even then, the presence of candida will be found.

You already know that there are a few different types of tests beginning with a stool sample so you might want to take one with you – well packaged, please.

There is also a blood test to determine the antibodies present which offers a clue as to type of infection.

You might be most helped by a throat culture because once the culture is grown, the type can be determined. This is the way I would go if I were you.

They can also do a tissue biopsy if the infection is systemic – what it will determine is the spread of the candida. This wouldn’t necessarily be done at a first appointment.

You already know that you do not want to leave this condition untreated because it can become systemic and cause even more severe symptoms than those which you are already experiencing.

Your next concern is what kind of approach to take for treatment.

answers:

You would ask for it at your local pharmacist like boots. It is a pessary that you insert into the top of your vagina, like a tampon. It should stay there and clear up the thrush.

answers:

I had a really bad yeast infection about 6 months ago. It burned like crazy, much worse than the 2 other times I had mild ones.

My friend recommended this good guide on it – I was able to treat with with name natural remedies, and didn’t have to go to the doctor or anything. I got the guide from this site:

http://www.theyeastinfectionsolution.com

Definitely would recommend it. After I followed all of the advice i was able to cure it in 2 days. All the recommendations are natural, too, which was a plus.

answers:

Oh no! I suffered from yeast infections loads during my pregnancy so i understand how you feel. I was told to try eating yogurt every day which contains acidophilus, it helped but didnt get rid of it completely. I went to see my gp who prescribed canseten pessaries and cream and they worked wanders. It is safe to take the pessaries but not the oral tablet. All the best x

answers:

It’s possible for a man to contract a genital yeast infection if he has unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner who has a genital yeast infection. However, just because your girlfriend has a yeast infection doesn’t mean you will get one too. Sexual transmission of yeast infections is uncommon.

Many people are under the impression that only women get genital yeast infections, but men get them too. Prolonged antibiotic use increases the risk of a yeast infection. Also, men with diabetes or impaired immune systems, such as those with HIV, are more susceptible to yeast infections.

Signs and symptoms of a male yeast infection include a reddish rash, itching or burning at the tip of the penis. Fortunately, most male yeast infections are easily treated with an over-the-counter antifungal treatment, such as Monistat (yes, men can use it too). Apply the medication directly to the affected skin twice daily for a week. If the rash doesn’t go away, or if it recurs frequently, consult your doctor.

If you and your partner have symptoms of genital yeast infection, it’s important that you both be treated. Otherwise, you may keep reinfecting each other. Also, it’s generally recommended that you refrain from sexual contact until all signs and symptoms of the infection are gone.

answers:

Since you have a reoccurring yeast infection I suggest you see your heath care provider and have them give you something. I know it might not be the most inexpensive thing, but it is the most efficient. If you don’t have insurance or can’t afford it I suggest you either go to Planned Parenthood or a women’s health clinic. They accept people without insurance and prices are lower.

Never douche or use feminine wipes or baby wipes around your vulva. Normally it would kill the good bacteria that are in you vagina that keep the bad bacteria from setting up shop and causing an infection. But since you already have an infection it will just kill any good bacteria you have there and cause the pH of your vagina to be drastically abnormal. Thus causing a very happy environment for the yeast to grow.

I am 25 years old and I have never had a yeast infection. All you need to do to clean your vagina is to clean it with warm water in the shower.

But to cure this yeast infection you should go to the doctor. You should also tell them you get them reoccurring and hopefully they can also help you with ways to keep from getting them so much.

Good luck.
