If i use a condom will my partner still get my yeast infection?

Question

Im on a 7 week course for a reoccurring yeast infection. And my partner is using the cream to clear his up as i think we have been passing it back and forth. Does this mean we cant have sex for those 2 months or can we use condoms?

Answer 1

Stop having SEX. You are not going to get better if you don't stop. Also have you been checked for Chlamydia? Reoccurent yeast infections is a sign for this STD. In the meantime show some restraint and get well and use your medications until your problem is gone. Don't worry the waiting makes it better!

Answer 2

Yes, it's still possible to pass yeast back and forth while using a condom. The fact that you are both being treated simultaneously is a very good thing.

It would be optimal to abstain from sex acts (intercourse, oral or anal) until the course of the medicine is through.

Honestly, for 7 weeks, I think I'd take my chances and use a condom. Choices, choices.......

Answer 3

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

Answer 4

Transmission

The source of chronic candida yeast overgrowth is usually the gastrointestinal tract.

The vagina or urethra can pick up the infection through sexual contact, although sexual contact with an infected partner does not usually spread the fungus.

Yeast overgrowth usually occurs as the result of:

In women

Fatigue
High stress
Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle
Increased warmth and moisture in the vaginal area
Menopause
Not drying the outer vaginal area thoroughly after bathing
Oral contraceptives (birth control pills)
Perfumed feminine hygiene sprays
Poor diet
Poorly ventilated clothing and underwear
Poor personal hygiene
Pregnancy
Some pharmaceutical prescriptions
Tight-fitting clothing or pantyhose
Use of antibiotics, in particular 'broad spectrum' antibiotics
Vaginal intercourse with inadequate lubrication
Wearing a damp bathing suit or pantyhose for an extended time
Other Factors

Douches wash away healthy secretions and normal bacteria and dry the surface of the vagina
Steroid medicines, such as Prednisone
Sweating
Topical anti-microbial agents
Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, which raises blood sugar levels making a good environment for yeast to grow
Candida can be transmitted between people by sexual contact

In Men

Men also get yeast infections caused by:

Condoms with nonoxynol-9 added to the lubricant which may contribute to anal yeast infection
Direct contact
Unprotected sex
and can also be caused from:

Diabetes (men with diabetes are more susceptible to yeast infections due to elevated sugar in the urine)
Prolonged antibiotic use
Help Factors

Abstain from vaginal intercourse until you are infection-free
Keep sex devices clean
Wash your hands or change your gloves in between touching sexual organs

It is best that you both DO NOT have sex while being treated for yeast infections. A condom will not prevent it from continuing to be passed between you.
