Can having sex doggy style cause yeast infections?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yeast Infections: Probably not. Now that does not rule out reaction to lube, to semen, or other common causes of vaginal yeast infection. But, i doubt that the position you had sexual intercourse in is the cause.

No: Yeast infections are very, very rarely transmitted by sexual intercourse.
