For some reason or another, it seems that
any time we fool around or have sex she
get's an infection or SOMETHING. Also, sex
is always painful for her every single
time and never feels good for her
whatsoever. Needless to say, this has
completely destroyed our sex life.
She has gone to the doctor for her
infections a couple of times. Once they
even said that they didn't even find
anything like an infection, but they would
just give her medication for the infection
anyways. She always seems to act like it
doesn't really get better. Essentially,
she doesn't have medical insurance so
she's afraid to have them do tests and
figure out why she keeps getting
infections.
At the same time, she seems to be a little
bit on the hypochondriac side and I wonder
if maybe she just thinks she still has
infections when she doesn't.
I don't know. Any advice? Can anyone help?

Like yeast infections?
Some women get small yeast infections
after sex. Sometimes these infections can
go away on their own and that could be why
the doctors didn't catch it.
She might want to look into preventing
yeast infections before sex. So wearing
loose clothing, cotton underwear, fully
drying off after showers or swimming,
using unscented soaps... stuff like that.
Applying a yeast infection cream, like
Monistat, after sex could also help.
When you do have sex, have her go to the
bathroom right after. Many women are
suseptible to infections, and urinating
cleans the urethra and vaginal area for
infections. This helps prevent bladder
infections and sometimes yeast.
What kind of condom? Does it have
spermicide on it? That can SERIOUSLY mess
with a vagina. It can actually cause a
yeast infection in many women.
If she doesn't have medical insurance, a
good way to ward off yeast infections is
drink cranberry juice. In college, I used
to get yeast infections regularly while
living in the dorms. But, I started
drinking it with every meal and it helped.
There are also over the counter pills
called AZO that help prevent yeast
infections. I used to pop those like candy
too.
