A member asked:
I am a female where do yeast infections come from ? sex ? can my boyfriend constantly ejaculate in me be the reason i have one now ? is it a std?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yeast: The cause of yeast infections is always close by. About 5% of the dry weight of your poo is yeast, and spores are in the environment.You ingest them occasionally from contaminated fingers. Women have more yeast issues than men because their anal opening is so close to their vagina, and chance contamination from wiping occurs. Anal followed by vaginal sex is a set up for frequent infections.
