If you want to know why you keep getting a yeast infection after sex, then you've come to the right place. All around the world folks are finding they keep getting a yeast infection after sex. The reason is the sex itself. Discover here why this happens and how to remedy it.
Although sex itself isn't a cause of yeast infections, it can help the infection be transferred from an infected partner to the other. The sexual organs provide a great environment for the Candida albicans fungus which is the root cause of a yeast infection. Not only that, the infection can be repeatedly transferred back and forth between you, causing recurring yeast infections that can get progressively harder to eliminate.
The Candida fungi exist naturally in our bodies without causing problems under normal conditions. Your body's 'good' bacteria keeps them at levels that we can live with. Under certain conditions, however, your good bacteria can become depleted and the fungus overgrows, causing your yeast infections.
It's difficult enough to eliminate your yeast infection without adding to your problems by having sex with one of you infected. The sexual organs, particularly the vagina, provide the ideal conditions (warm, moist, dark) for the fungus to multiply. And the close physical contact can then transfer the infection. This is why you keep getting a yeast infection after sex.
The best solution to give you and your partner a decent chance of a cure is to STOP HAVING SEX UNTIL THE INFECTION IS COMPLETELY CLEARED. And using a condom isn't all that great either because some spermicides can actually 'encourage' the fungus. That being the case, your cure better be fast, right? So let's look at your options...
Mainstream treatments such as topically applied creams, lotions and pessaries can work well enough. Except that they are drug-based and tend to address the symptoms rather than the cause of your yeast infection. And the Candida fungus can become resistant to the drugs. The outcome in many cases is recurring yeast infections.
This is why so many sufferers like you around the world, totally frustrated with getting yeast infections after sex, are turning to natural remedies without the side effects and negative aspects of expensive drug-based treatments.
But there are so many natural home remedies for yeast infections out there, that you'll need to carry out your own research and find a remedy or series of remedies that can work for you.
But remember that your objective is to get rid of your yeast infection as fast as possible, plus, prevent it ever returning again, so that you can resume sex as quickly as possible, correct?
