A member asked:
Since yeast infections can come from sex, how many times a week should a woman have sex without worrying about the overgrowth & recurrent infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yeast is not sexual: You are mistaken. Yeast infections do not "come from sex". Every human being normally has yeasts in their intestines, and many women have them normally in their vaginas. Having a yeast infection doesn't mean you caught it from another person, and the frequency of sex has nothing to do with it.
