Can a shaved pubic area lead to yeast infections?

Question

I shaved the first time 2 weeks ago. Last week I had a UTI and this week it's a yeast infection. What's up? Need help.......

Answer 1

no that would have nothing to do w/ it-did you take an antibiotic for the uti-b/c thats where the yeast infection came from-use monistat 3-if it doesnt clear up in a wk for the yeast infection you may need to call your dr to do a bacteria culture-or u may just be prone to getting frequent uti's -if thats a case you can have underlying factor-maybe its your kidneys

Answer 2

No, that has nothing to do with the other. And you probably had to take antibiotics for your UTI. If you did, it's very common for women to develop a yeast infection after being on antibiotics b/c it disturbs your ph. So, that could be why you had both at once. Don't worry, unfortunately, a lot of other women get this two-fer also. But it has nothing to do with you shaving, I assure you. I've shaved for 4 years, and it's made no difference.

Answer 3

no . . shaving won't give you a yeast infection . . . try to keep your pubic area cleaned and very dry . . don't wear tight pants . . wear cotton panties . . .

Answer 4

no shaving won't do that. the antibiotic probably was the cause. But if you shaved for that bikini and swim alot, sitting around in a wet bathing suit brings them on as well.

Answer 5

shaving will in NO WAY give you a yeast infection!!!
just clean yourself better

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

I just think it's an unlucky co-incidence. I hope you get better soon.
