Yeast Infection After Intercourse - How to Prevent it From Happening Again
Do you get yeast infection after intercourse? There's no need to if you know why it happens.
Here you'll discover what causes your yeast infections and just how sexual intercourse can hamper your cure, causing horrible recurring infections.
You'll also need to accept an unpalatable truth if you wish to prevent a yeast infection after intercourse.
Before we look at how you keep getting a yeast infection after intercourse, let's look at the causes of your (or your partner's) yeast infection...
Yeast infections are actually caused by a minute yeast-like fungus we call Candida Albicans.
Now, we have this residing in our body quite naturally, and without causing us any problems.
This is because your body's beneficial bacteria takes care of things.
They contain the fungus at healthy levels.
In certain situations though, the Candida can overwhelm your good bacteria and 'overgrow' out of control.
It's this overgrow that causes your yeast infections.
Typical of the situations, or, underlying conditions that help the fungus overgrow are things such as; 1.
a lowered immune system (e.
g.
through illness, HIV, cancer treatment etc.
) 2.
diabetes (higher sugar levels feed the yeast fungus) 3.
bad diet (high sugar foods, candy and drinks feed the yeast fungus) 4.
antibiotics overuse (these kill-off the 'friendly' bacteria) Now let's look at why you, or your partner, keeps getting a yeast infection after intercourse...
The first thing to realize is that sexual intercourse, itself, doesn't cause yeast infections.
But, because it provides ideal conditions for the Candida to grow, it does 'transfer' the infection from one partner to the other.
And, not only that, it can then be transferred back and forth as long as you're having regular intercourse.
Now you, or your partner, are probably using mainstream drug-based topical creams and / or pessaries to try to cure yeast infection.
And, there are times when you think your cured.
But after sexual intercourse the infection just keeps returning.
This is because these drug-based treatments address the local symptoms not the root causes of yeast infection.
Your symptoms go away but the infection doesn't.
So that during intercourse the Candida is transferred and multiplies again.
The result? You keep getting a yeast infection after intercourse.
Even using a condom doesn't help in many cases, because some of their spermicides can actually 'help' the Candida grow.
The surest way is to cease sexual intercourse until you are completely cured.
This is the unpalatable truth I mentioned at the start.
And this is what many sufferers do.
But because of their need to get their sex lives back on track really fast, and the shortcomings of mainstream drugs, thousands of women and men worldwide have turned to totally natural treatments.
