Why do yeast infections happen??

Question

Ive been having sex and i got a yeast infection, does that mean he’s dirty? We don’t use protection

Answer

It could be the sperm which can change the pH balance of the vagina. Try taking a probiotic specifically for women which can help strengthen your susceptibility to them

Answer

If your hormones are off, it could make it more difficult for good bacteria to live, and bad bacteria would take over, causing recurring yeast infections. That can happen of you're on the pill for many years, for example. But only a doctor can tell you the cause.

Answer

There’s so many reasons you could have a yeast infection. Don’t use scented soaps or wipes, wear cotton lined undies, don’t sit around in sweat soaked workout clothes or wet bathing suits for extended periods of time, watch your diet and make sure it’s not overloaded on foods with sugar/added sugar.

Answer

Try using a condom once and if it doesn't happen after that, then maybe he can be the problem. Men can get yeast infection too and it doesn't cause symptoms to them so they can reinfect you(slim chance but possible).
Another possibility is that his sperm affects your pH down there (but again this is unlikely because the sperm is made for the vag).

Answer

Yeast infections can also be caused by swest that sits in the perineal area. Make sure you clean up really well after sex, shower or use wipes if you need to, and wait to put on underwear if you can.
