[|Human|] I started dating a guy 9 months ago and our sex life was awesome but since Oct. I have gotten yeast infections off and on. I have been trying to figure out what is causing them, I only get them after we have intercourse and its within 20 minutes. After much trail and error I think it could either be from his Celex ( he started that in Oct) or him eating pickles. Is it possible?

After using the toilet, wipe from front to back to avoid spreading yeast or bacteria from your anus to the vagina or urinary tract. 4.

Use vaginal antifungal medicines which are available for 1-day, 3-day, and longer courses, depending on the strength of the medicine. 7.
