Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Do Inflammation And Slight Itching Sensations Post Having Sex Indicate Yeast Infection?
Hi, My husband and I recently started having sex again. I feel a burning sensation and a tad bit of itching down yonder. I looked inside of myself and do not have any white discharge. Can it still be a yeast infection? Oh and I know for a fact my husband hasn t cheated and we use condoms.
Using condom during sexual intercourse greatly reduces risk of sexually-transmitted diseases. However; genital areas which are not covered with condom still may cause transmission. You must watch yourself for any discharge; and check for recent condom changes for any kind of allergic reaction. Also, I suggest vaginal hygiene products rather than classical products. If vaginal discharge occurs (white, green or water-like), you may need oral antibiotics/anti-fungal agents.
May you recover soon
