Could a yeast infection lead to vulvar cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not that I know: Certain viral infections cause gyn and other cancers but as far as i know, yeast infections do not. Cancer patients, especially those on chemo, often get yeast infections, though, but it did not cause the cancer.
