Maybe you're not entirely getting rid of the infection! Talk to your doctor again! Or use the seven day treatment for like 14 days! Make sure after you have sex you clean up really well!
Don't wear tight pants!
Sometimes a yeast infection can follow a urinary tract infection and vice versa. Have your doctor check it out!

Oral sex and or anal sex will cause yeast infections. Human mouth is very dirty as is the other. It took me a while to figure out what was causing mine. It was the oral sex. If we used a good mouthwash before sex, if did help. Hope it helps. Yeast infections are miserable.

Ok. This could be due to many things. Please don't take offense:
Are you both clean? And I mean like wash regularly. If he uses his hands near or on your genitals, make sure he washes first and cleans his fingernails. Same goes for you!
Do you wear underwear? If so, wear cotton only. If not, start now and change everyday. (Gross, I know, but there are people that wear underwear for more than one day. eeww)
Do you use douches? Either slow down or just stop altogether. Our bodies clean themselves naturally in this way; occasional douching is ok, but it can actually cause problems for you if you use it too much.
I have a zine with more info on how to avoid yeast infections, I'll add more when I get home.
From the zine. Stuff to do and not do when you have a yeast infection:
-Avoid comsuming sugar and alcohol in all forms. Seriously, the infection thrives on this stuff.
-Avoid consuming breads unless they're yeast-free.
-Eat tons of fresh veggies.
-Birth control CAN be a causing factor. Try getting off the pill (or whatever it is) or get a lower dosage and see if it helps. It probably will help because high doses of estrogen causes the uterine-lining cells to produce more glycogen (which is sugar!). Now that's something the gyno's don't tell us.
-If you're on antibiotics, take acidophilus with them. Antibiotics kill off friendly bacteria, which then promotes yeast growth. Crappy.
-Treat your parter, too. He might be reinfecting you. Both of you should take Cranactin capsules (equivalent to 16 eight oz. glasses of unsweetened cran juice). Wash and have him wash genitals, hands and mouths before sex.
During and after infection:
-Get a natural soap. Go to a health nut store and read the ingredients on the soaps. If you can't pronounce it, don't use it. Most name brand soaps are harsh alkaline and they can mess up the acidic PH of your sensitive area.
-Don't wear tight pants.
-Stay clean, eat well. Treat yourself better and slow down on blaming yourself. This could be as much his fault as yours.

Yeast infections can come from many thing's. Such as a wet swim suit being wore to long. Antibiotics and other medications.
A simple treatment is cranberry tablets, yogurt , acidophiles milk,
or whole or jellied cranberry from a can, like you eat at Thanksgiving. My Grand-Daughter ( 9 ) , used to get them often & since the DR has her drinking the cranberry juice in her lunch box and taking the tablet's she has not had a reoccurance.
Hope this help's you.
Sincerely, Jeannie~
