Mardrey, Just another thing to think about in terms of risk factors for Yeast...the husband has jock itch. i noticed that in your posting and have to tell a funny (sort of) story. A mom presented to me at three weeks post partum with a severe candidal infection. i got in touch with her OB to get her treated. As I was doing the history...nothing was positive she said to me "Oh, I know how I got this...My husband has chronic jock itch....went on to tell me about their encounter at two weeks postpartum..they weren't allowed to have intercourse yet, so.... I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Of course, I'm not sure how to ask this in a history????
