I have a yeast infection, and it is driving me nuts!!.. I went today and finally bought some canesten stuff for it, after a week of suffering. I have never had one before, and don't know how I got it. It is disgusting, and itching like mad. I feel like I could take a steel wire brush to it.

Has my husband been cheating I wonder????

You can get yeast infection from different things. It doesnt nessicarily mean your husband has cheated. You can get them from baths sometimes, not changing into clean underware everyday, wiping from back to front ( suppose to be from front to back). Women are prone to this infection

I know, and I do everything proper. I change my undies everyday...(sometimes 2 or 3 times) I wipe front to back. I had uti last week...Could that be the culprit??

Hmm im really not for sure. I just know that they are very common and annoying lol. Oh and douching (sp?) causes them too.

it is highly possible.
If you took anti-biotics for the uti, this can sometimes lead to an imbalance of the bacteria/yeast/fungi that is naturally occurring and good for us.

If the bacteria are too far diminished the yeast can multiply too quickly and you end up with a yeast infection - it is very common.

But it is still not as bad or as dangerous as leaving the uti untreated - get your script filled and take the meds before you do lasting damage.
