Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Condoms
Whenever I have sex with my boyfriend(I am female) and we use a condom I get a yeast infection from it, even the ones without spermicide. Is this normal?

Not normal . . .
Condoms are an effective way of preventing yeast infections. Please do see your doctor to determine if what you are experiencing is really a yeast infection or a possible allergic reation.

TRY THE "NON-LATEX" ONES. MOST PEOPLE ARE ALLERGIC TO IT. AND ALSO TRY WASHING YOUR HOLES MORE OFTEN, AS WELL.

Go see somebody
It could be an allergy or it could be a yeast infection. Some women have chronic low grade yeast infections that flare up after sex, so it could be the sex that's doing it--not the condom. In any case, if you're allergic to the latex there are alternate types of condoms you can use, and if you have a yeast infection it is not a big deal, it can be easily dealt with. Just head over to your doctor and get it sorted ASAP!

If your boyfriend likes to drink beer,wine,malt liquor,ect. and then the two of you enjoy oral sex this can be a prime contributor to a yeast infection

If you're taking any medications they might be the cause of it. If not, try eating more yogurt or taking a yogurt pill available at the drug store. It is 'good bacteria' that helps your system combat the yeast infections. It may help.

I'm going to straight out say this is bullshit--beer yeast is NOT the same as vaginal yeast.
