Can lubricant lead to vaginal infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If you have an allergy or if the lubricant alters the bacteria of your vagina, an infection may occur. In general, over the counter vaginal lubricants are very safe to use and infection is not common as a result of their use.
