A member asked:
If used sexually can coconut oil cause a yeast infection? i have heard of that happening i guess. if there is a slight rick to using coconut oil, should i use avocado or olive oil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use no oils at all: No oil of any kind should be used in the genital area. If you need a sexual lubricant. a water-based product is much better. None cn cause yeast infection, however.
