    hi, my girlfriend had yeast infection symptoms starting 5 months ago, she was not active sexually untill 3 months ago with me. Once we started having sex the symptons went away, but now as of about less then a month ago they have been coming back, she says it feels like its swollen, itching is starting to get worse, when we have sex sometimes she has alot of pain, and then for some reason sometimes there is no pain at all or minor pain, we have started using Canestan pill and we used it for the first time, after about 30 mins she started saying it felt like stuff was coming out of her and it was wierd feeling, this happend for about 2 hours, then we woke up in the morning and it is happening still but only minorely, is this normal, are the pills working? thanks
