I had a lot of discharge and the occasional itch around my vagina. I’ve had a yeast infection before and assumed it was just that. After my three-day monistat and period (which I got in the middle of the medication) I assumed it had gone away. My boyfriend and I were then fooling around and he went down on me. However, today it seems to me that I still may have a yeast infection. Would it have tasted really badly down there if it seems to be just a light yeast infection?

Probably not. Sometimes receiving oral sex can actually cause a yeast infection in women. Also, it’s possible that you still had the yeast infection when you had oral sex. We recommend a seven day treatment rather than a three day treatment. The infection is more likely to go away for good and less likely to recur.

Unfortunately, if you did have a yeast infection when the oral sex took place, it is possible that you may have transmitted the infection to your partner. A yeast infection in the mouth is known as oral candida or thrush. If your partner notices white patchy areas or lesions in the mouth or on the tongue or an irritated or itchy feeling in the mouth, he may want to visit a medical practitioner for diagnosis and treatment. If thrush is diagnosed, treatment typically includes an antifungal medication and salt water rinses.

If your itching and irritation does not go away after a seven day treatment, you should also be seen by a medical professional. It may not be yeast at all – in which case, you will need to be screened for other types of infections.
