Damn, I reckon I must have an iron vagina!
I use to leave my wet swimsuit on for hrs in summer cause it was cooler. I've been on a few different birth controls and I stress like no ones business.
But I have been lucky so far - touch wood.

Hahaha, well good luck to you! Some people never get them, some do - and frequently. My mother gets them every other month since she had my little brother. It really just depends on the person I guess.

I've heard that some women who get yeast infections don't even know it.

I get UTIs like it's nothing. If I don't get up and pee after sex . . . bam! I also don't stay as hydrated as I should.

And I occasionally get bacterial vaginosis. I hate it so much. It's like any little thing that changes the chemistry can screw up anything.

Multiple UTIs and a couple led to full on bladder infections. I also have polyps on the inside of my uterus and even worse- on the OUTSIDE of my uterus! actually attached to the outside of the uterus and those are only operable with a hysterectomy. I also have severe Endometriosis and a cyst on the inside of my bladder that has caused my bladder to only hold one-third of the amount of liquid it should. All this within the last 2 years. FML

I've had 1 yeast infection, it was awful. I've had 1 UTI that became a bad bladder infection with a kidney stone, it was also awful. And I've had endo almost my entire life - it's why I went on the pill as a teenager. I really feel for those women who constantly get yeast infections or UTIs.

I have endometriosis and my hormone pills for it make me prone to yeast infections. I get a lot of ovarian cysts too. :/

Yeast infections are a pain in the ass. (Well the vag really) If I have taken antibiotics I might get one. It's happened a couple times.

I had a yeast infection when i was a little girl maybe like 12. It was very uncomfortable and embarrassing. I told my mommy that i was itchy down there and i had a smelly thick discharge, she took me to the docter and the docter was
"all up in there". Very awkward. And she recommended that i soak in warm water and baking soda everynight and every moring and i did. It went away in a few days.

Had a yeast infection..ONCE, from playing around with SUGAR CANDY, where sugar should not go. Never want one again. Beyond that, I managed..amazingly, to get through the "free love" sixties and the nutty "seventies" with NONE of the problems listed!!!! Just luck, I guess.

It's not so much a disease and it's not in the cervix or uterus, but I am prone to ovarian cysts and having them burst. Incredibly not fun, those.

Same here with the ovarian cysts. I had UTIs as a kid (chronic bed wetter), but had apparently blocked out how painful they were until I had one this year. Never again!!

Somehow, I haven't had a yeast infection yet, and I hope that remains the case!

I have polycystic ovary syndrome, which involves having cysts on the ovaries that often burst, among many other problems. Definitely not fun.

I've had one yeast infection,brought about by antibiotics I was prescribed for a bladder infection,funny how the treatment for one can cause the other! I personally found natural yoghurt to work far better than the over the counter treatment.

i have only ever had a UTI. i do sometimes get ingrown hairs which are not fun... and i'm just super sensitive down there so it can get irritated very easily from too much stimulation or fragrance body washes, etc

I had a horrible yeast and bacterial infection with I was pregnant with my second child. I was gestationally diabetic and I am told that these are common problems with this condition. I had a massive yeast and UTI recently when I went on BC. Seems my body doesn't like being jerked around hormonally!

I have had HPV but not genitally I had a wart on my hand. I have also had cold sores which are Herpital but again not genitally and not often...usually only when I have a super high fever.

Shortly after I gave birth to our second child, the ex cheated on me, contracted Chlamydia and passed it on to me. Some horse pills and ... more
Something about sweet little girls, eh? I imagine the chlamidia was the easy thing to get over....thanks Gods Sigel has never passed anything on to me except some sleepless nights and crying jags!

I've only had a UTI and only once in my life, I rather hate cranberries and all derivatives. I'm glad my vagina isn't fragile or sensitive.
