Why do i get yeast infections after having intercourse with my partner. can it be cause its so rough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PH change: The vagina is slightly acidic and the ejaculated semen is mildly alkaline temporarily changing the pH "balance" allowing for a more favorable growth environment for yeast. A kinder gentler intercourse engagement can improve the situation as well as a favorable prolonged Rx by a GYN MD.
