Sex And Yeast Infection
A yeast infection is not a sexually transmitted disease. It is possible to catch one through sexual relations. Sex is an uncommon source of disease. Yeast infections are the result of an imbalance in the vaginal environment that can have a multiplicity of cause's sexual transmission. Candida can be transmitted among people by direct contact and so can be considered a sexually-transmitted disease. A yeast-infected woman who has insecure sex with a man can infect her lover, treat her own infection and then get infected again next time she has sex with him. If lover has an active infection then one should be extra-careful to follow the safer sex guidelines until sure that both are infection-free. during an infection or while being treated, refrain from vaginal intercourse, wash hands or change gloves in between touching own crotch and partner's and keep those sex toys really clean.
Prevent a yeast infection in the first place: Follow a healthy eating plan. Eating yogurt that contains live cultures of lactobacillus acidophilus has been shown to be particularly beneficial in counteracting yeast. Get enough sleep. This will keep the body's defenses working well, making less prone to infections. Avoid using scented, deodorant and antibacterial products in and around the genital area. These include soaps, sprays, powders, toilet paper, tampons or other feminine hygiene products. Wear pads or panty-liners just when menstruating or spotting. Do not use douches. Douching may alter the normal stability of good and bad vaginal bacteria as well as spread the bad organisms from the vagina into the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease.
Avoid preventable use of antibiotics. Like douching, antibiotics can change the normal balance of vaginal organisms. Keep the vaginal area dry. Change out of swimming suit as soon as possible after swimming. Warm and moist environments are great breeding grounds for yeast. Wipe as of front to back after using the toilet. This will help to reduce the spread of fecal bacteria to the vagina.

Other factors: Condom can encourage yeast infections in two diverse ways. First, a lot of condoms come packaged with a lubricant that includes nonoxynol-9, a spermicidal that may kill the HIV virus. The best way not to have to be anxious about getting yeast infections this way is not to have sex. But if having sex, using a condom will help prevent transmission of yeast infections, just as it helps stop transmission of more commonly sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection and helps prevent pregnancy. |
