Sex during yeast infection treatment?

i got the 3 day insert treatment today and i noticed it says you shouldn't have vaginal intercourse while using it. i was going to start it tonight but the only problem is that my anniversary is thursday and i don't want to not be able to have sex that day being that i have a big sexual surprise for him. and we're pretty sure he already has a yeast infection so if i wait it won't matter as far as giving him one. also, if i have it in there and have sex with him will it help his yeast infection? or should i just wait until after thursday?

the yeast infection truly isn't that bad. it's not like a severe one.

If its a three day treatment it should be Monday Tuesday Wednesday so it will be done before then.. So It would probably be alright.

You know that they have one day treatments right? Monistat makes one and you can use it night or day... If I were you I would do that... and then wait till thursday... it bothers me to have sex while I have a yeast infection. Also, he needs to get treated if he has one so you don' get it again! :) I believe that men can you the cream just like women, I read that some where... but I think that it would probably just be more effective to have him go to the doctor... they have a pill you take that stays in your system for up to five days to clear it up... I have used it and it works great!

guys are so immature or maybe a better word is stupid like TORI said most guys don't even know you have the infection. But I also agree with the other person that 3 days it would be wednesday not Thursday so what is the problem. And if you can rid yourself of it then he can do oral on you so take it now and be done.

wait to do your treatment until after your anniversary. Dont listen to the person who told you its gross to have sex with a yeast infection. Guys dont notice. but make sure he doesnt go down on you!! :)
But if you start the treatment and have sex, it will make it not work! Thats the only reason why it says not to.

Good luck, and have fun on your big night!

I think billie.joe.arrmstrong has his answer bretty well thought out! I LIKE IT! (not sure what it means though....)



idk, but you can bwow bubbos (blow bubbles)

or you could just plan a surprise party...........with bread, beer, and and any other thing that requiers yeast........thats alot of bread and booze....OH OH, dont forget to rub cheese on it too! OH, and put cheese on the bread and beer too!!!!!!!!

It might not take 3 days for the treatment to work, it might take a week or maybe even a day.
It really depends on your body.

Just let your bf know ahead of time whats going on I know he will understand and see how you are doing when that day comes.

Great you can give him the surprise of a yeast infection as well so that you can share the infection. Use a condom or else you risk the spreading.

Talk to your guy about it and see what he says.

You might wanna just have FUN on your anniversary (even though it won't prolly be as good as usual) and then just start the yeast infection meds the next morning.

um eww.........

do you always like not treat it? id go see a gynacologist and get treated if i were you..

i also think its a good idea for both of you to get tested for other diseses

arent you uncomfortable. i would start taking the meds now. give him his sexual surprise a little late. wouldnt sex be uncomforatlbe if you have a yeast infection? yikes

you cant have a yeast infection and have sex no male would do it because it is kinda nasty to have yeast infection sex so wait

Thats gross. Dont have sex when you have a yeast infection. You can pass it on to him.

that is so fvcking gross but yeah i dont think you should have sex cuz thats hella nasty, unless your comfortable with gross globby sex.....

you are thoughtful....you are so very very thoughtful

Postpone your anniversary for next week. Odds are he'll forget it anyway.

id defiantly wait until thursday, just wait a little longer just to make things better not worse?

wait until after thursday

Give him the butt.

Wait.

Wait.

that's a negative

hell naw girl just in case u better wait das kind of nasty tho if u do it while u still got it

I'd have to say WAIT.

wait... or do the One day. yeast infections are pretty gross..

just do anal, better for all parties

i think maybe u should wate cuz it might cause other infections 4 him!

u should just wait

is fine if u use a condom u just dont want semen in there till ur better

In all honesty if you both have it and you really want to, I don't see why not try. Although you may end up stopping pre-maturely due to pain from the infection, just as a thought.

One thing I would suggest is that he uses coconut oil as a lubricant, there is a acid compound in it called caprylic acid that destroys yeast on contact. It can't interfere with your treatment from my understanding and if there is any odour it will be helpful in reducing it as well.

Beyond that here are some tips I would suggest for you to speed up your recovery.

There are many things you need to start doing and addressing if you are suffering from a yeast infection. To start, do the following:

1. Wear loose clothing and undergarments, oxygen kills yeast, going commando and wearing nothing down there if possible is even better.

2. Get some unsweetened yogurt and rub it onto a tampon, insert the tampon and do this continually until the yeast infection is gone.

3. Cut out any and all sugar, alcohol and yeast from your diet. All three will promote the infection further.

4. Start drinking cranberry juice, pure not from concentrate with no added sugar, I know this goes against the no sugar thing but the acid content in the cranberries will alter the PH balance of your vagina and cause the yeast to die off.

5. If you can tolerate it, use a raw garlic clove and apply it to the infection, this may burn so dilute it with some olive or coconut oil, both of which can also help eliminate the yeast, especially the coconut.

6. Lastly if all else fails, begin adding 2 cups of apple cider vinegar to a bath. Only fill the tub up high enough to submerge your genital area. Stay in the tub for 20-30 minutes at a time.

Hope this helps, the yogurt is the key really, by putting good bacteria directly on the area you will eliminate it quickly. Make sure it is unsweetened and ideally keep an eye out for a variation called Kefir which has even more beneficial bacteria in it to snuff out the infection.

When all is said and done I would suggest you research Candida and take a test to determine if you are suffering from it, as anyone who gets yeast infections has Candida, it's just a matter of how bad it is.
