Yeast Infection or what??

[Evianalps]

My gf always have this yellowish like scramble eggs discharge every time after i shoot her inside.Its been always like this for many months and despite going to the clinic and getting herself inserted with bullet pills and antibiotics, it would appear again.The doctor said it is just infection and even after medication it would resurface again.She said she feels pain but bearable at her abdomen.

I wonder if it the problem lies in me cos both of us are clean(we went to dsc and got checked).and she dun fuck around outside.i believe it got to do with my sperm.Is it because my sperm is acidic or something?? and when its inside her it becomes infection?? Can anyone give any advice.Thanks

THE HEALTHY VAGINA
The vagina serves as a passageway between the outside of the body and the inner reproductive organs. The pH balance of the vagina is acidic, which discourages infections from occurring. This acidic environment is created by normally-occurring bacteria. A healthy vagina produces secretions to cleanse and regulate itself, similar to how saliva cleanses and regulates the environment of the mouth. These vaginal secretions are normal vaginal discharge. Any interference with the delicate balance of vaginal secretions sets up an environment conducive to infection.



NORMAL VAGINAL DISCHARGE
All women have some vaginal discharge. Normal discharge may appear clear, cloudy white, and/or yellowish when dry on clothing. It may also contain white flecks and at times may be thin and stringy. Changes in normal discharge can occur for many reasons, including menstrual cycle, emotional stressors, nutritional status, pregnancy, usage of medications - including birth control pills, and sexual arousal.



EFFECTS OF THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE
The menstrual cycle affects the vaginal environment. You may notice increased wetness and clear discharge around mid-cycle. The pH balance of the vagina fluctuates during the cycle and is the least acidic on the days just prior to and during menstruation. Infections, therefore, are most common at this time.



SIGNS OF ABNORMAL DISCHARGE
Any changes in color or amount of discharge may be a sign of a vaginal infection. Vaginal infections are very common; most women will experience some form of a vaginal infection in their lifetime. If you experience any of the symptoms below, this may be a sign of vaginal infection:

Discharge accompanied by itching, rash or soreness

Persistent, increased discharge

Burning on skin during urination

White, clumpy discharge (somewhat like cottage cheese)

Grey/white or yellow/green discharge with a foul odor

Outlined below is basic information on three common vaginal infections



BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS

The exact cause of bacterial vaginosis is unknown. Similar to a yeast infection, there is an overgrowth of bacteria, and the delicate balance of the vaginal environment is upset when these bacteria occur in increased amounts. Recurrence of bacterial vaginosis is common and bacterial vaginosis can coexist with other vaginal infections.



Signs and Symptoms

Increased amount of discharge

Grey/white, thin, watery discharge

Foul/fishy odor with discharge

Increased odor to discharge immediately after intercourse

Nearly half of the women with bacterial vaginosis don't display any symptoms.



Treatment: There is no over-the-counter treatment available. There are two treatment options with metronidazole (Flagyl) - an oral antibiotic or a topical antibiotic cream. Metronidazole can cause nausea and darkening of urine. Alcohol consumption should be avoided while on this medication, and for 48 hours after treatment, due to possible alcohol intolerance, which can result in nausea and vomiting. If you are using the vaginal antibiotic cream, it must be used daily for five days.



TRICHOMONIASIS

This infection is caused by a one-celled protozoan organism. Trichomoniasis is almost always spread through sexual contact. However, the protozoan organism can survive for up to twenty-four hours in a moist environment, making wet towels or bathing suits possible instruments of transmission from someone with the infection.



Signs and Symptoms: Most men and some women don't display any symptoms, which may include . . . . .

Yellow/green, frothy, discharge

Foul odor with discharge

Increased amount of discharge

Increased frequency of urination

Inflammation of vulva/vagina

Itching

Treatment: The treatment used is the oral antibiotic, metronidazole. Remember - no alcohol consumption when taking the medication and for 48 hours after treatment! It is recommended that both partners be treated at the same time to avoid recurrent infections. Partners should be treated even if they aren't displaying any symptoms. Avoid intercourse until treatment is completed.



MONILIA (YEAST) INFECTION

There is normally a small amount of yeast (Candida albicans) present in the vagina. A yeast infection occurs when there is an overabundance of yeast, often caused by a change in the pH balance of the vagina. Yeast infections are not usually sexually transmitted.



Some Factors That May Increase Susceptibility to Yeast Infections

Increased stress

Diabetes

Pregnancy

Use of oral contraceptives

Use of antibiotics (protective bacteria are destroyed by antibiotics, allowing yeast overgrowth)

Signs and Symptoms

Increased amount of discharge

Redness, itching, burning in vaginal/vulvar area

White, clumpy (cottage cheese-like), discharge

Treatment: Since yeast is normally present in the vagina, it is unrealistic to try to eliminate all yeast. Therefore, the goal of treatment is to reduce the overgrowth of yeast organisms and return the vagina to a healthy balance. Treatment consists of antifungal agents in the form of tablets, vaginal creams or suppositories. Over-the-counter treatments are available. However, if you are pregnant, always be sure to have any medications approved by a health care provider. Partners are not usually treated unless they are displaying symptoms such as itching or irritation in the genital area. Treatment for male partners consists of the use of fungicidal cream on the penis.



PREVENTION AND TREATMENT GUIDELINES FOR VAGINAL INFECTIONS

Have new partners wear condoms during sexual intercourse.

Stay healthy; eat well, get enough sleep, drink enough fluids.

Keep vaginal area clean and dry.

Wear cotton underwear.

Wipe from front to back after urination or bowel movement.

Avoid using deodorant pads or tampons.

Don't use petroleum jelly or other oils for lubricants.

Don't douche.

Use medication as long as directed.

Avoid sexual intercourse until treatment is completed and you are symptom free.

Don't scratch infected or inflamed areas; it can cause further irritation.

If using medication inside the vagina, use it during the menstrual period.

During an infection, use pads rather than tampons if menstruation occurs.

Avoid vulvo/vaginal irritants, including perfumed or deodorant soaps/body washes.

If symptoms persist after completing the treatment, an exam is indicated. Call for an appointment,

and please use nothing in the vagina for 48 hours prior to your exam.

Just found out another method is to administer a vinegar douche to cure this ailment

Nutritional Approaches to Healthy Intestinal Bacteria

Women with chronic yeast infections, or people at risk for fungal infections, may want to consider supplementing their diets with foods and nutrients that have been shown to discourage fungal infection in the first place. Probably the most effective method is to maintain a healthy population of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which can reduce the risk of vaginal infections (Elmer GW et al 1996).

Yogurt and probiotics. Studies have shown that daily ingestion of 150 mL of yogurt enriched with live Lactobacillus acidophilus can increase levels of friendly bacteria in the rectum and vagina (Shalev E et al 1996). Studies have shown that a daily cup of yogurt significantly reduces the risk of candida infection and colonization (Hilton E et al 1992). This therapy is generally well tolerated, except among people with specific milk protein allergies. Even people who are lactose intolerant oftentimes find that yogurt is tolerable.

Fructooligosaccharides. Fructooligosaccharides are a form of sugar that has been shown to boost beneficial bacteria levels. One teaspoon (4 g) daily of fructooligosaccharide promotes the proliferation of friendly bifido bacteria in the gut (Howard MD et al 1995; Oyarzabal OA et al 1995; Buddington RK et al 1996).

Hi threadstarter, pse try and if it works, can post here, so if ever I see this, I know what to do

[Evianalps]

already went to see GP again.Its a case of infections and given antibiotics and cream to apply the outer area.Told her bout it but she seems not interested putting the blame on sex..It will re occur again and gf want to try to cut down on intercourse.So have to eat outside often

[Red_Tirak1099]

Bro try abstaining sex with her for some time. If problem still there you can tell her its not the sex.

[cheekyfella]

Recurrent yeast infection (more than 5 occasions in a year) affects about 5% of population. One has to consider diabetes as a possible cause should the yeast infection be resistent to anti-fungal treatment or if she is getting repeated infection despite adequate treatment.

Some doctors also prescribe oral medication for the male partner as the male partner may harbour spores (inactive fungus) on the glan penis.

Probiotic which contains lactobasilus theoratically may improve the pH of the vagina but there is currently no conclusive proof of it's benefits.

hope this information helps.
