Predisposition: You may have underlying problems, including antibiotics, steroids, diabetes, etc. If not, then treat each episode with medication through your partner's menstrual cycle, having you using an antiifungal cream on the penis twice a day during this treatment. Might also try eating unpasteurized yogurt at least once a day to try and alter the number of yeast in GI tract.
