you can pass it to your partner once you have it, but you can get it through other means then sex, like taking tetracycline. you can now buy cures over the counter, like monistat.
Males also get it and pass it to the female or vice verse
It is not a disease
Not at all.
It may be transmitted sexually.It is a chemical imbalance.Sometimes it may be a reaction to ,,lets say,,soap.Try Pure & Natural or Ivory.I think it can also be from being alergic to certain condoms.
It’s an infection from bacteria that seeped its way into the body through the urethra.
yeast infection is usually from not being dry down there. most people usually get them right after their period but they can happen at any time and to a person of any age. if you get them often then its a problem you need checked out. they only way your going to get it like an std is if you have sex with someone while you have an infection. they can be passed back and forth if the male is never treated. usually difulcan does the trick.
Not always, though it can be transmitted.
No. It can be spread though.
i agree with rAiNeRz and it is not a sexually transmitted disease for women
No not necessarily a STD. A yeast infection is a "normal" occurrence in a women, even babies and get a form of a yeast infection called Thrush. A women can have reoccurring yeast infections(see a DR.) or it can be caused by an imbalance in body or taking antibiotics. good & bad Bacteria are present in vagina when antibiotics are taken it kills good bacteria too sometimes causing a yeast inf. But yes I heard a man that has sex w/ a women who has one can possibly transfer it to another partner.
yes i agree that you can be allergic to certain condoms that cause yeast infection namely lubricated condoms try un lubricated. And yes men can pass yeast to a woman a man should try rubbing their penis with monostat vaginal cream the same time the woman is being treated.
No it’s not.
Yeast (Candida albicans) normally lives in small numbers in several different parts of the body. A yeast "infection" is an overgrowth of bugs that were already there.
It would be nice if some STD educators got their facts straight about this. The confusion comes because the genitals are the commonest place to get such an "infection", and Candida is a microorganism.
Grrrrrrrrrr.
No its not a STD. It is an infection could have been from a perscription that she probably could have taken or some women getting them fequently too many yeast infections can harm them over a period of time. But it would not lead to STD’s.
A yeast infection is just a chemical imbalance in the body.Though many woman suffer with it,men get it as well and it can be passed on.
It can be sexually transmitted but is not considered an std.Now let me tell you how to get rid of one and it not come back.
First no woman should douche,it strips the body of the natural flora that women need to keep our female parts in good health.
A yeast infection is when the natural flora is disrupted,it can be by antibiotics also.Yogurt is very good to eat to keep the flora right.It is the PH balance in us that gets out of whack.Having sex with just one partner will be best also.No bathes in a tub either,only showers.
no….a woman can develop a yeast infection after having sex…..and if not cured can lead to bacterial vaginosis….which can lead to a serious problem….
