Since I became sexually active I have had issues with vaginitis. I am not promiscuis. doctors tell me it can come from using the wrong soaps.I have halted having SEX and have been on antibiotics, but I still recieve Oral Sex.I am now starting to feel symptoms of infection what am I doing wrong?

Get your boyfriend tested

you can catch anything, from any part of the body. Oral sex or Vaginal sex. doesn't matter. is it the same partner each time? with the sex and the oral sex? if it is. maybe you should have HIM checked out. if you're RECEIVING oral sex and obtain an infection, observe if he has open soars in his mouth. if so, then yes, you could catch something. Talk to your Dr. and maybe talk to your guy.



Good Luck. Lay off ALL types of sex, till you know what's going on. or you will never find the where it's coming from. Just trying to help. not meaning to sound "motherly" but you asked. and if you don't want to hear that you need to obtain your boyfriend checked, then keep on doing what you're doing, and observe where that takes you. If it isn't him, then that's great.

The human mouth is not the cleanest place in this world...so I reccomend that you only take part in Oral Sex when you have the capability to shower afterward. Your vagina has a very strict pH(acidity) and if that gets thrownn off by anything you could be prone to an infection. And the answer is yes, you could get an infection/STD from oral sex. Be Carefull, know who you're letting go down on you...Good Luck!

If your partner is not infected and you're both maintaining personal hygiene, you should not have infections due to sex. Urinating right after intercourse is a wonderful advice for prevention of bladder infections.

If you were taking contraceptive pills, they can give you yeast (Candida) infection as side effect, and sometimes it can be recurrent.

Wearing clothes made of natural fiber such as cotton and avoiding tight pants will help.
