What Causes Recurrent UTI, Yeast Infection And BV When Sexually Active?

hi... am 26yrs of age and recent had a BV, YEAST INFECTION and a UTI. I`ve been treated in emergency room for a week and been release with a 7days leave of medication due to the condition, which I`ve completed. After treatment, I had sex with my current boyfriend and after two days i realized that my vagina had develop a fowl odor and pain at the opening of vagina... I took back the same antibiotics without prescription on my own... the problem when away. within one week i had sex with my boyfriend after second treatment and the same problem came back. I have no itching, no bleeding, no symptoms when urination or passin stool, no vomiting or nausea and I`ve recently started birth control. Is it that my boy friend has an infection too or is it the birth control. please help... oh and we do have sex on regular base for example 3 time per day at least 4 day a week

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

You seem to be suffering from Vaginitis. If I was your treating physician I would perform a vaginal swab culture and urine culture first of all to reach the confirm diagnosis and its type.....it may be either of three ( bacterial, fungal or trichomoniasis).
then my treatment plan would be according to the culture reports. As you have mentioned that you have already taken treatment for vaginitis, i would suggest that you now consult your gynaecologist for further treatment as excessive use of all drugs will make the causative organism resistant which will make it even harder to cure.
The treatment for recurrent infection may require medicines for a longer period of time.
Your sexual partner may also be tested and treated to prevent any re-infection esp. in case of bacterial vaginitis.

Meanwhile take extra care of hygiene of genital area, wear cotton undergarments and frequents changing of tampons.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
