i think the right term is colpitis
(candita ..when vagina tingles and the
vaginal fluids are smelly and cause these
tingles..). I have it very often..even
without sex..even if i am very concerned
and carefull with my hygiene..again i have
problems..if i am stressed or worried,
here it is again..i am so tired..after
medication stops, it comes again..i'm
wondering if someone else has the same
problem and what she does about that..my
doctor proposed me to put in my vagina
yogurt with live active yogurt
cultivation..some times it works..

Sorry, I don't have much advice for you.
I've never had a yeast infection. I hope
everything turns out okay for you.

There are over the counter medications
that work much better, and if you can't
find them near where you live they are
probably available online. Look for
Monistat (that is a popular brand)

well..the matter is not the medication..as
i said i am taking the medication..the
matter is that it comes again and
again..after medication i am clean
(according to microbiological tests) but
in few while it is back again..i think it
has to do with my defense..the yogurt was
really helpful but it didn't solved it
totally..i want to know if someone else
has the same problem with me..and how she
deals with that..

So what's going on with you? Are you on
antibiotics, birth control, steroids, or
anything? Do you have any diseses? Are you
using antibacterial soap/nylon underwear,
thongs, scented toilet paper, soaps, etc.?
Do you douche?
All of these are causes of recurring yeast
infections.

and another question..can i get it back
from my bf? i mean in Greece the doctors
are very strict about that and they give
both medication (man and woman) but here
in uk doctor told me that there is no need
for my bf to take anything..and in Italy
the same..I'm getting crazy with this
story..i am afraid to touch my vagina
because i am to scared if i will transfer
any microbes! I became crazy with cleaning
matters..i sterilize almost everything..

Well, yes, you can give it to a man, and
he can give it back to you. Men can carry
yeast infections and not show signs of it.
Maybe have a doctor test him?

What do you mean you didn't have results?
Did they test your yeast infections? And
they found you didn't have any?
Sometimes the treatments for yeast
infections can cause bacterial infections,
and treatments for bacterial infections
can cause yeast infections. That's
something to talk to your doctor about.

sometime is might not even be a yeast
infection. I was treated over and over
again for one and finally my doctor told
me it was all in my head. I went to female
doctor and she ask me if they ever checked
my sugar( that is a cause of reacurring
yeast infections).. Sugar was fine so they
did a pap and she found pre cancerous
cells on my cervix. I had them frooze off
and no more yeast infections..
Stupid Doctor, "all in my head" RIGHT..
My point is. I'm not saying you have
pre-cancerous cells, but it might not be
yeast infection.. Make them so other test
until they know what it is!!

Right- underlying conditions can cause
recurring yeast infections. I would find a
doc and keep pushing for them to figure it
out.

Well, only twice isn't exactly
recurring... but anyway
some women get yeast infections in
relation to their period or at a certain
time in your schedule. Does that seem
likely to you? Because if that's the case,
you can track when you get infections
during the cycle and just be prepared with
some over the counter monistat or
something during that time.
But if nothing is working and it keeps
coming back, I'd just go to a different
doctor. That stinks, though.
