Have Yeast Infection And Developed Itchy Clitoris. On Medication For UTI. What Is The Problem?

Given the fact that you have a history of frequent yeast infections (and BV) AND were also given antibiotics, the MOST LIKELY explanation is a vulvar yeast infection. It can affect any area on your bottom, including the area that you are describing. Also, given the recent sexual activity, consider that if you are using condoms, you could be having a reaction to the latex that is used to make them.
Here is what I would recommend:
1. Call your doctor for a prescription for diflucan 150mg now and every 3 days for at least 4 doses
2. If you are on a low dose birth control pill, consider asking for a higher dose pill as the lower estrogen in the low dose pills might be putting you at risk for recurrent infections
3. Take a break from intercourse until this is resolved
Please let me know if this helps and good luck!


1. Do a culture of the skin on the outside and around the urethra.
2. OR just treat you with diflucan and see if things get better with treatment, regardless of whether a culture was done.
And no, his diagnosis of diabetes is not relevant to your current problem. Review this answer and my prior recommendations and lets know if you have more questions!


1. The CDC does not consider yeast infections (or BV) sexually transmissable
2. That being said, perhaps there is still merit to your line of thinking
3. If he IS causing the problem, I would assume that there would be a difference if he used a condom or not - try using a condom for a while (if you don't) and see if this makes a difference
4. If you ARE using a condom, then consider birth control pills and THEN getting rid of the condoms (because I had supposed you might be reacting to them)
I guess it might be helpful if you clarify if you are using condoms or not, and are you on birth control?
