My wife turned me down last night, she said she has a yeast infection which may be true. She said that heat and humidity can cause this to happen. Is this ture?

Not looking to get bashed. I do respect her. Can heat and humidity cause the infection?

To keep it simple yes heat and humidity can cause a yeast infection, especially if the genital region is not allowed to breath (too tight pants, synthetic underwear) also too hot bath water/hot tub can also cause yeast infections.

Yeast infections may also occur in association with diabetes or problems that affect the immune system (such as AIDS or HIV).
Vaginal candidiasis is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. However, 12% to 15% of men will develop symptoms such as itching and penile rash following sexual contact with an infected partner.
What you wear — or don't wear — can help you avoid a yeast infection. Yeast grows best in a warm, moist environment: think wet bathing suits, tight jeans, and stretchy exercise gear. Nylon underwear, pantyhose, and other synthetic materials that trap moisture make yeast infections more likely.
Some girls may react to certain dyes or perfumes in soaps, bath gels or lotions, sanitary products, and laundry detergents. When the reaction causes irritation, that can set the stage for a yeast infection. Your best bet is to steer clear of perfumed products and to use mild and fragrance-free products when possible.
To help keep your vagina clean and dry, try switching to all-cotton underwear and make sure you carefully dry off after you shower. If you can, wear cotton underwear to bed or don't wear any, and always wash and thoroughly dry your underwear before wearing them. Don't lounge around in a wet bathing suit after a swim in the pool and avoid jeans or pantyhose that are too tight.
Only take antibiotics when and how they're prescribed by a doctor. And if you have diabetes, make sure you keep your blood sugar level under control.

Oh yes... the chemistry down there is a delicate issue!! Yeast infections can be caused by sooo many things. The heat and humitity, new fabric softener, new type of soap of she's allergic to the perfume in it... medications, tight clothing....

if she has a yeast infection, you'll be able to tell by looking in the garbage, as she'll have bought monistat or something.
but the other woman is right, does she need a reason to say no? its her body, not yours, respect it.

Alot of things cause one. Wearing your swimsuit too long, taking antibiotics, even sleeping with your underwear on adds to the likely hood of getting one. But the number one thing is, if your wife doesn't want to have sex, then just let her be that night. Don't you want it to be good for her too? Well then she has to want to have sex.
