What Are The Treatment And Symptoms Of The Yeast Infection?
About the 2nd week of May I got what seemed to be a yeast infection, I did not go to the Gyno nor take any medication I just waited for it to pass which it did after about a week and half. After the symptoms went away I had sexual intercourse and it was extremely painful. So I took another break for about 2 weeks or so and had sexual intercourse last night and it was fine once he was in, but when he got out and tried to get back in it was extremely painful. The only way I know how to describe it is it felt like skin burn from the rubbing. Any suggestions?

Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
As you said you are having yeast infection but yeast are not always pathogenic as they can be present as commansal vaginal flora.So you should be investigated to find out other infection.
genital infection are usually due to sexually transmitted infection (STD) and acquire by contact with infected partner. There are a group of organism causes STD. So I suggest you to fist you should confirm your diagnosis .you should be investigated for :
1. Microscopic examination of Vaginal discharge .
If discharge is not present Vaginal Swab can be used it will sugget you causative organism and about your microbial flora.
However syndromic management can be started after opinion from Gynecologist .But always remember treatment should be always given to your sexual partner also and keep sexual abstinence or use condom until you get cured.
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
