Hi I'm 28 years old female and my partner is 30. For the past 1 yr I have been suffering from vaginal yeast infection. The entrance of my vagina is irritated and causes burning and pain while intercourse. There is odorless whitish discharge from my vagina which adds to itching and burning. My partner suffers from severe seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp and has deposits under his foreskin which are itchy and smelly.
We have been to the gynecologist once but the problem re-occurred after a span of 4 months. Is there any relationship between dandruff and vaginal yeast infection because my partner has persistent dandruff problems. Help!!

I cannot comment on the connection between dandruff per se and yeast infection directly, except inasmuch as the yeast infection is a reaction of your body to his, a natural defense mechanism - so I understand - to protect a vulnerable area, easily penetrated by disease and bacteria (without that protection), so the simple observation would be simply that bad-skin-on-head may not be unrelated to a skin condition that triggers your yeast infection.
However, yeast infection (again I understand) can happy in perfectly clean and hygienic couples, it's just a natural 'keep out' mechanism trying to protect you.
When I read about deposits under his foreskin which are itchy and smelly however, I want to gag - and I'm male. Hasn't he heard of running water, and soap? There's no excuse for poor hygiene for anything he wants to stick inside you (pardon me being blunt), especially (as you've found) given how sensitive a woman's body is. Try leaving a chicken leg or skewer out until it rots and is mouldy, and offering it to him to eat, or to ram down his throat, as that's effectively what he's doing to you.
If he can't be bothered, I'd suggest you get some mouthwash, listerine, toothpaste, anything with recognised anti-bacterial etc. qualities, and insist on dousing him before sex. When he's stopped screaming (it hurts), he'll remember not to forget to wash the next time.
If you want to be nicer to him (you obviously are attached to him), you can 'come on baby, let's do this my way', lead him to the bathroom, soap him up, and treat getting him clean as an erotic exercise. The double advantage is, if he comes in the bathroom in your hand, you won't be getting the yeast infection.
And don't be afraid to get all of him clean, front and back. He may like it, or he may freak, but you can either spend your time in pain, washing yourself, or in pleasure, washing him. It's your call.
Take care,
Andrew.

What does it mean when you have vaginal bleeding during a yeast infection, and what's the most efficient way to get rid of it?
