I know this should be answered by a doctor, but I'm embaressed and don't want to talk to my mother haha :]

I recently lost my virginity to my boyfriend about a week ago. I figured it'd be painful, and still hurt after a week or so, but the type of hurt has changed. When we have sex it's not like a stretching pain anymore, but like an intense burning pain. If it matters at all I had very very light spotting for about 4 days. We switched condom brands and lube and it still burned really bad. My boyfriend even said he could feel it burning, also I was giving him a handjob (tmi haha) and after he..finished he said it was burning, this was without a condom (we tried non-latex the second time, and it seemed to burn alloott worse!) There were no spermicides or warming somethings in the condoms or the lubricant I think. We used astroglide and normal ky ; trojan extra thin? and trojan supra.

Is it possible I got a yeast infection or something and then passed it to him? We had sex without a condom once (i'm on birthcontrol) so I guess I could've given it to him then :/ Would that burn him too? He seemed to not feel it near as bad as I did though.

This would be my first yeast infection so I'm super confused. I heard you get like cream cheese? consistency discharge and the only time I get that is if I stick my finger in and and pull out, sometimes theres discharge that looks like that on my nail, and maybe once or twice i noticed before a bath there was white discharge kind of foaming around my opening, but there was hardly any at all sooo. From what I read from other posters, they make it seem like discharge is just flowing out of you. Also the smell hasn't changed. It doesn't itch or burn at any other time, only during sex.

If it is a yeast infection, I'll start my period really soon, should that make it go away? How does my boyfriend get rid of it without going to a doctor?
If it's not...what is wrong with me? haha :]
Sorry if its major confusing and thought scrabbled.

I can't answer most of your questions, but I might be able to help you out with a couple.

1) When I get a yeastie ( kinda common with me, mainly because of pregnancies I think), I don't usually get burning or itching (although on occasions it has been very uncomfortable after sex), in fact the only way I can tell is from the discharge. I generally don't notice the discarge unless I stick my finger in either. I wouldn't describe it as like cream cheese though, but more like cottage cheese (kinda lumpy).

2) For me at least, my periods have never cleared up a yeast infection for me.

Was he a virgin as well? Have either of you had oral sex experience with people other than each other?

I cannot confirm if you have a yeast infection or not but it can be transferred from partner to partner.

If you can, visit a grocery store and pick up a yeast infection detection kit. The screening kits are made by Vagisil and will be in the same section as yeast infection creams. Do not treat yourself or your boyfriend until you are sure you have a yeast infection.

If you do have a yeast infection, you can treat yours over the counter. I have had success with Monistat one day treatment, although it usually takes about three days to clear up fully. It would clear up faster for you if you were to visit the doctor since a doctor can prescribe you a pill that is quicker and has a higher success rate.

Your boyfriend can also use Monistat anti-fungal cream, even those labeled for "vaginal use." The yeast that causes female yeast infections is the same that causes male yeast infections, but products are usually marketed towards women since it is more common for women to contract yeast infections. Your boyfriend should apply the cream to his penis twice a day, every day for a week. If he is still having problems in a week he should visit a doctor.

You and your boyfriend should avoid sexual contact until the yeast infections are cleared up to avoid transferring the infection back and forth.

If the kit shows that you do not have a yeast infection, visit a doctor and advise your boyfriend to do the same.

He's had plenty of oral experience with other people, he was my first. Would that change something? =o

It is not impossible for STDs and STIs to be transmitted through oral sex contact (some being herpes, genital warts, chlamydia, gonorrhea.)

It sounds to me more like you have a yeast infection, possibly even a bacterial infection, but it is in your best interest to find out what the issue is. Since you do not want to visit a doctor at this time, I again strongly stress purchasing a yeast infection home testing kit.

Good luck, and if you need more help after you figure out what is going on, feel free to contact me here or message me on livejournal!

Have you read through our Yeast Infection Vulvapedia? (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=Yeast_Infection) Lots of helpful info there, with links, including the answer to some of these questions. :)

Anyway -- not all yeast infections come with discharge or odour. For instance, I have had a couple YIs and never get any discharge -- I just get the super-intense itching and rawness.

It is possible to pass them on to a male partner, yes. (I gave my partner a horrific YI back around Christmas.) That said, I have no idea if this is a YI or not -- it may just be continued irritation from being new to penetrative sex.

One thing to try, because it won't hurt if it isn't a YI, is plain yogurt with acidophilus. (It must be plain though -- no fruit or otherwise flavoured yogurts!) You can get it at any grocery store, and you can have your partner bathe his penis in it for 5-10 minutes a couple of times a day. The yogurt can also be used vaginally. This can be a pretty effective treatment for YIs, and at any rate it won't cause issues if it happens not to be a YI.
