I had a yeast infection and was treating it with medication that my doctor prescribed. I waited two days after I finished treatment to have sex, and now it is back again.

about a week
Since Yeast infections can be sexually transmitted, you want to wait for at least a week. So you know that your safe and he is as well.
At least 5 days.
Yeast Infections affect nearly 75% of all people, including both men AND women, at some point in their life.
They occur when Candida, a natural fungus in the body, overgrows. Candida is normally regulated by Acidophilus (another microoganism living in the body).
When diet and hygienic conditions change, sometimes the Candida will grow out of control. This leads to a yeast infection.
Yeast Infections often show up as localized yeast infections — as in a vaginal or penile yeast infection.
They can also appear as a digestive tract disorder or skin irritation — as in Candida Overgrowth yeast infections. I’ve provided information on how to treat LOCALIZED (vaginal or penile) infections below…
The symptoms (you may not experience all of them):
- white cottage cheese-like discharge
- some odor
- dryness (can cause bleeding)
- digestive problems
- itchiness
- burning urination
- painful intercourse
- a feeling of just not being "normal"
Here are some safe, natural cures you can implement.
Avoid Sugars
Avoid sugars and complex carbs for a week. they "feed" the Candida fungus.
Clothing
If you’re not treating the infection with the Tree Tea Oil solution mentioned below, air out the infected area while you’re sleeping at night. Don’t wear underwear. Or wear cotton underwear during the day.
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Add grapefruit extract to your water during the day (raises acid levels in the body). This will decrease the candida in your body.
Probiotics
Eat probiotics like cottage cheese and yogurt. They will increase the acidophilus in your system and this in turn will fight off the candida yeast.
Hygiene
Shower frequently. Avoid scented soaps and antibacterial soaps. Don’t take baths while you have the infection. If you go to the gym, shower immediately when you get home.
Diet
Drink lots of water and eat plenty of fiber to flush the infection out of your body. As a yeast infection goes away, the candida albicans release toxins which increase symptoms temporarily. Flushing these toxins out with water will speed your recovery.
Tea Tree Oil
Apply tea tree oil to the infection by applying it to a tampon and keep it inserted overnight.
