A member asked:

Can i have sex with my husband if i have a yeast infection on my vagina skin and anus and healed inside vagina from yeast?

Dr. Harold Mandel answered

Specializes in General Practice

More Rx: This would be considered unsafe sex because your husband can still get the yeast infection from your vagina skin and anus. I suggest going to a clinic immediately for an exam and further treatment. If you and your husband insist on having sex now make certain he uses a condom and be careful!
