Julia--I get tonsil stones too, and yes I worry about my breath all the time. I have gotten them off and on for years (since I was a kid). I had a pretty bad bout of them a few months back, and I discovered that my prescription nasal spray (astelin and flonase) seemed to make them worse.
I too get yeast infections from semen (it really sucks, doesn't it?). My doctor said this is common. I haven't noticed any tonsil stones from swallowing it. I guess I have never noticed a connection between the two, or between yeast infections and tonsil stones, but there may very well be a connection. I think doctors are used to looking at the one body part that is sick and not really connecting it with any other parts of your body. I have a feeling there are many different causes to tonsil stones, but no one who is in the position to research them cares enough to do it.
You should probably see a doctor. A doctor probably won't know about the tonsil stones, but at least see a gyno about the yeast infections. Good luck!
katyana--They are basically white smelly chunks of crud that form in your tonsils. There are several extensive posts about them on here. You can probably find them by doing a search.
