What Causes Recurring Yeast Infections After Sex?

I had have reocurring yeast infections for about 3 years now. I always show symptoms after sex. I take Diflucan all of the time and the infection "seems" to go away until I have sex again. I also just had bloodwork and I had a 10.7 eosinophil percentage? Any relation?

Hello,
There could be many reasons....
Although not a sexually transmitted disease it can be yransmitted to you by your partner
There could be STI like trichomoniasis or gonorrhoea or bacterial vaginosis
Use of birthcontol pills,estrogens,excessive antibiotics
Associated diabetes
Use of synthetic clothes and frequent douching
Your yeast infection could be due to some other species of candida like C GLABRATA which responds to nystatin and not diflucan
Consult a doctor and get the microscopic examination of vaginal discharge done and get properly managed.
Thanks
