Can a yeast infection happen to anyone?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
If you refer to vaginal yeast, it can happen after taking antibiotics, after using condoms, and after using anything in the vagina that disrupts the normal acidic environment if the vagina. You can try vinegar vaginal douche to try to reestablish the acidic environment of the vagina. It can also happen in diabetes. Hope this helps!

Yes it can, both oral and vaginal. Caused by the fungus candida. Treatment is with an antifungal drug or cream.
