A member asked:
I keep getting a yeast infection. my husband and i are trying to conceive is his sperm causing this problem?

No: Sperm don't cause yeast infections. Frequent sex doesn't directly cause them either. However, trauma, lubricants, other irritants, etc related to intercourse can disrupt the normal vaginal protection and give you a yeast infection. Best wishes!
