Yes, yeast infections love sex.
Or rather sex is loved by the root cause of your yeast infection, the Candida Albicans flora.
You see, sexual intercourse and oral sex provide the ideal opportunities for the flora to be transferred from one person to the other.
This is why so many people complain about getting infections after sex.
And here's the reason...
The Candida fungus which resides in your body quite naturally, loves the warm, moist nooks and crannies in particular, e.
g.
the vagina, mouth, anus, penis, etc.
But your friendly bacteria manages to keep the numbers down to healthy levels, so that the flora can't overgrow.
Unfortunately, there are times when the good bacteria numbers are lower than they should be, and the Candida overgrows, causing yeast infections.
Now, a person with an infection who has sex, can transfer it to the other partner because the conditions in and around the sexual organs favor its growth.
Worse still, many men don't show any symptoms at all, so that the two of you can be oblivious to the risk.
Usual prescribed or OTC treatment using anti-fungal drugs can clear up the symptoms fairly quickly.
But, they normally address the symptoms, not the root cause, or any underlying conditions such as lowered immunity, antibiotics overuse, poor diet, sex with yeast infection, etc.
These are just some of the many things that affect the good bacteria and help trigger yeast infections.
You can see that sex is a factor.
So if you want to continue with sex, yeast infection needs to be completely cleared up first.
But mainstream treatment can't guarantee that will happen.
That's why many women and men are turning their attention to totally natural treatments that don't have the failings of drug-based ones.
In this way, they are able to quickly cure their yeast infection completely, then restart a healthy sex life once more.
