Sometimes oral antibiotics must be prescribed. I keep getting yeast infections . Yeast infections occur when the acid-base balance of the vagina is upset. This imbalance can be caused by pregnancy, douching, obesity, birth-control pills, antibiotics, HIV, diabetes, HIV, oral sex, and wearing too tight clothing, etc. Hence, the chance of catching it from a male sexual partner is low.
Men can develop the disease through frequent sexual contact with an infected female partner.
Sometimes it is NOT a yeast infection, but rather a bacterial infection that needs a gynecological examination and antibiotics. Only a microscopic exam of the vaginal discharge can determine the exact organism. In this case, the partner must be treated also. When you suspect that you may be transmitting something among partners, it is always wise to have the partner checked out also. One year ago I developed a yeast infection that cannot be cured by any medication.
