[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I wouldn't assume your kid isn't having sex. In fact, sex oftentimes will bring on the yeast infection. [/quote]

Given what OP has said, it seems more likely that this is due to masturbation or possibly just poor hygiene.  But it might also be a sign of an underlying immune deficiency.

OP, if this is all real, this is an emergency situation.  Not necessarily the yeast infection (which is bad enough) but her resistance to seeing a doctor.  What if she had spinal meningitis?  She could be dead within days.   One of my nephews almost died his freshman year from a bacterial lung infection that was just the normal sort of thing college kids get.  You cannot send her to college when she is so inhibited in her own self care.  Your refusal to recognize this as a real issue is astounding.  She needs to get into a therapist immediately.  You need to make this a condition of your paying for college or whatever other leverage you have.  I would be laying down a ton of conditions — she signs a hipaa waiver, she agrees to at least weekly FaceTime calls with you, etc.  Sending her out into the cualdroj of infection that is a college campus, or into the world generally, with this level of health anxiety is really scary.

Also, have you thought about that she might be on the spectrum?  From the description, it really sounds like that’s a possibility, and anxieties around these sorts of things are common for kids on the spectrum.  [/quote]
