A member asked:

Trying to get pregnant, can vaginal canesten cream damage the sperm ?? ovulation day, can i use the cream and still have sex??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Canestan cream (antifungal) generally used to treat vaginal yeast (Candida) infections. No contraindications to having sex while treating such an infection though if symptomatic, best to defer sex until any irritation resolves. Though I am not aware of any direct toxic effect of Canestan on sperm, any vaginal cream likely to inhibit sperm motility and decrease the chance of sperm reaching cervix.
