Re: Bloating after intercourse...

I had the same exact thing - well sometimes they told me they saw yeast
and others they didn't. (I went to the doctor about 10 times in the
matter of 8 months for this) I have the burning and pain during sex, I
had discharge (and sorry to have to explain like this, but it got so bad
it looked like toilet paper chunks)-yet they still said it wasn't yeast
half the time-and none of the medicine they gave me for a yeast
infection ever worked. I also had the tears you mentioned at the top,
around the opening, and sides- different places at different times but
they burnt during intercourse and urination- so they tested me for STD's
and I had none-so they did nothing. So anyway now I am down to just the
minimal discharge (Summer's Eve helps with this) which I think is caused
by the endo. I have read that some dr's believe that candida and endo
are related. I was also just checked again by my gyno who again said
that she saw no yeast. I thought and still do think that Birth Control
Pills make it worse-which is a known fact that it can cause yeast
infections. I quit taking the birth control pills last June and it has
gotten much better since. I haven't had the tears since then which were
the worst part-so if you are on birth control pills I would suggest
stopping those. Sorry to have to go into such detail-but I want to be
of as much help as I can.
