Is it normal for sex to be a painful a few weeks after getting rid of a yeast infection? or should i treat the infection again?

Can get tested: IF you have had a recent vaginal infection and are still having problems then it is prudent to schedule a visit for an exam and testing. You want to make sure the right problem is being treated
