Get checked: Get tested for yeast and other infections. Typically yeast is not a sexually transmitted infection, but if having symptoms your doctor can help you feel good. Good luck

Flavored condom-?: Not necessarily so: fungal yeast vaginal infections are due to multiple factors, heat, perspiration, chaffing, tight fitting cloothung, routine and oral sexual secretions-the list is extensive.If you are diabetic, I think you should avoid "sweets"- this is not just a "condom thing",- it's a HUMAN thing- get treatment. See your GYN.

Yeast? Are you sure?: Are you sure it is a yeast infection? Has it been diagnosed by a physician looking at the discharge under a microscope. If not, it could be Bacterial Vaginosis. Bacterial Vaginosis is actually more common than yeast infections. Over-the-counter treatment for vaginal yeast infection can make Bacterial Vaginosis worse. You should be evaluated by a doctor.
