Question 1

can a woman transfer her yeast infection to a man during intercourse?

Accepted Answer

Low likelihood : Unless your partner has loss of skin integrity and/or incompetence of their immune system. Need to make sure vulvovaginal candidiasis or 'yeast infection' is the diagnosis.

Question 2

female. 20. had a yeast infection about a week ago-finally gone. during intercourse with my partner, there's still a bit of discomfort-raw sensation?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: having a bad yeast infection can cause inflammation to the vaginal tissue, which can make it very fragile. It might take longer than a full week to recover and have comfortable intercourse. If you have to have intercourse, consider using a good lubricant to avoid further damage to your vaginal tissue.

Question 3

reoccurring yeast infection in woman. 28 year old woman keeps getting yeast infection. could male be infected? she showers after intercourse every tim

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection: It is not infection in the male, but rather it is possible that the skin of his penis has been colonized with the Candida (yeast), and he is passing it back to you. Do not know what you have been treated with, but if orally, take it through one period and at the same time use an anti-fungal cream on his penis every day.  If that doesn't work, ask again. Best wishes for a good outcome.

Question 4

could a yeast infection cause pain during intercourse?

Accepted Answer

It could cause: Vaginal and vulvar irritation and burning but not pain inside the pelvis, if the pain is inside teh eplvis could be due to many different etiologies so see your gyn for a workup.

Question 5

what are ways to decrease pain during intercourse if you have a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Your doctor will have to do some special tests to the discharge to make a specific diagnosis and treatment recommendation.

Question 6

i am  11 weeks pregnant, during intercourse my partner has this white flaky stuff on his penis. am i suffering from yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal Fluids: No. It is likely your vaginal fluids that increased with sexual stimulation. Add the friction of intercourse (think of beating egg whites) and sometimes there is a white kind of sticky substance on the penis after or during sex. Normal.

Question 7

i recently had a yeast infection about a month ago, and i don't know if i have another one. it really burns and itches in my vaginal area. i also experience a lot of pain during sexual intercourse. what do i have and how should i treat it?

Accepted Answer

: See your gynecologist or family doctor.  Best to have an evaluation and to discuss symptoms of yeast infection, pain during intercourse and any other concerns that may present.

Question 8

i experience vaginal pain during intercourse with my boyfriend, specifically around the opening of my vagina. no signs of yeast infection, std screens negative/pap smears negative.

Accepted Answer

Dyspareunia: This is distinctly abnormal and should be investigated further.  If your current doctor cannot find the source they may want to refer you elsewhere. Do not give up, there is probably a solution in sight.

Question 9

can vaginal dryness during sex cause yeast infection two days after intercourse?

Accepted Answer

: Vaginal dryness does not cause yeast infection, but it can make the genital area more sensitive to irritation from friction during sex, causing symptoms similar to yeast infection. It also is possible that what you thought was "dryness" actually was an early symptom of yeast infection.

Question 10

pain during intercourse at vagina opening, came on gradually starting ~6 mos ago. pap smears/std screens negative. don't think it's yeast infection.

Accepted Answer

See a gynecologist: You must be examined and thoroughly evaluated to have this diagnosed and managed appropriately. Go soon and feel better.
