Hmm. I can relate to the not wanting
"some old bloke looking at" my vagina
part.
what about female
doctors? Some women will only see men,
some will only see women, and some don't
care either way. So doctor offices and
the like are used to people asking for a
doctor of a certain sex. Also, many
clinics are all female. I went to one
like that and loved it. All of the
doctors, nurses, and secretaries were
female.
If she feels like her last doctor didn't
do a good job, that's no reason to avoid
doctors altogether. She can go to
another doctor. I have had some doctors
that rushed me in and out, but I have had
others that actually took time to sit down
and explain things. There are a lot of
doctors out there. Actually, the place
where people always sat down with me to
explain everything in depth was at the all
female clinic. However, if the doctor
gave her something to clear it up, and she
never took it or never told the doctor
that it didn't work, that isn't the
doctor's fault. They don't know the
treatment didn't work unless we tell them
that.
If she has had a yeast infection for this
long, or if it is a yeast infection that
keeps coming back, it could be a sign of
an underlying problem.
Also, yeast infections can be passed on.
That means that you could end up with it
on your penis or in your mouth!
I suppose the hard part will be to get the
information through to her, however. You
know her better than we do, so you know
what might make her angry, or what might
make it through to her better than we do.
Maybe you could find some websites about
it to show her? Maybe seeing that it can
be a sign of underlying problem, or that
she could pass it on to you would make her
more likely to see a doctor?
