A member asked:
Can vaginal dryness during sex cause yeast infection two days after intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaginal dryness does not cause yeast infection, but it can make the genital area more sensitive to irritation from friction during sex, causing symptoms similar to yeast infection. It also is possible that what you thought was "dryness" actually was an early symptom of yeast infection.
