Why do condoms cause me to get yeast infections?

Question

Ok, so idk if it's an actual yeast infection because I just wait until the discomfort subsides. But every time a condom is used, I get REALLY itchy down there. Is it possible that my vagina is allergic to latex and not any other part of body? Or is it the spermicide? Ugh, it's so annoying.

Answer

Maybe it's your reaction to latex. Have you tried latex free? If not, give it a try.

Answer

Sometimes the material that it's made with doesn't sit well with your skin personally. I would try a different brand or form of birth control.

Answer

It could be the latex or it could be the spermicide lol try different condoms until you find one that works

Answer

It could be either or both. Try nitrile condoms. FC2 condoms are nitrile. Don't expose yourself again to latex. Latex allergies exacerbate with each exposure and it's not worth the risk
