Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am continuously suffering from yeast infections. I am extremely careful about staying clean 'down there' but I am sexually active with my boyfriend of 2 years. We do not use condoms, and occasionally he will finish inside of me. I was wondering if HE could be the cause of my reoccurring yeast infections.
