i had a yeast infect a few weeks ago and i treated it and all my problems went away. well now that i just finished my period its seems as im getting another one. i am beginning to wonder if maybe my partner maybe infect as well. anyone know what males can use to treat a yeast infection so we quit passing it back and forth if that is what is going on.
Did you have unprotected sex while on your period or just after? Could be your boyfriend is passing it back to you.
Consider going on a yeast-free diet, no sugar (as sugar feeds yeast), no alcohol – so no cakes, candy, sweets, etc.
*Take Lots of acidophilus/probiotics or eat Unsweetened (Plain) Yogurt
*Avoid tight jeans and other tight pants
*Wear cotton underwear during the day, no thongs
*Wear no underwear to bed
If it’s a topical yeast infection (no discharge) here’s some things to try. I’ve tired the first two and they worked for me:
1. Put a tsp of apple cider vinegar in a 6-8 ounce glass of water and drink it 2-3 times a day.
2. Mix a tsp of Hydrogen Peroxide in a cup of water and pour over the area.
3. Fill a bathtub with just enough warm, not hot, water to create a sitz bath (enough water to cover your groin and just up to your belly). Add 2 cups of raw apple cider vinegar and sit in the bath with your knees folded toward your body (not stretched out flat). You can stay in this bath mixture for 15 minutes. Gently pat dry and make sure you are very dry before putting any clothes on. Wear only cotton underpants, preferably washed in natural unscented detergent.r

Try spreading yogurt down there, both of you. And try drinking Kefir.

Tell him to go to the doctor and get checked out. It could just be you didn’t cure your first one and it came back, talk to your doctor about getting an oral medication like diflucan.
