Candida Question #61 Can Prolonged Sex Cause Yeast Infection Or Irritation?

It can be, but sometimes having prolonged can also be quite irritating just to the vaginal tissues in general, particularly if there’s not enough lubrication, it can occur. It may not be a yeast infection, but having irritation in this particular area can certainly predispose you toward a yeast infection.

More likely this kind of itching and irritation is because of prolonged sex, so you’ll probably need to use a good lubricant. Coconut oil is actually quite a cool thing to use because it’s anti-fungal and it’s a good lubricant in general for sex.

Yeah, I would say you need to probably get yourself back in shape again and maybe next time you have sex don’t have it for a few hours, but take it easy and you’ll find that over a period of time it won’t be a problem anymore.

Candida Question #60 Yeast Infection And Several Sexual Partners Connected?

It very much can. When I practiced in Australia a few years ago, I worked in a clinic with a doctor who had a practice involving sexual health. And I certainly did see many patients, lesbian patients, gay patients, straight patients, all sorts of patients. And I certainly noticed that many people in sexually active relationships, particularly with multiple partners, could easily pick up yeast infections. Not just yeast infections, but Herpes as well, and other conditions like this.

So it certainly can occur and if you’re a sexually active person and you do have multiple partners, then my advice would be to be very careful, get regularly checked out, and use appropriate precautions and hygiene because it would be easy for you to pick up, not just a Candida yeast infection genital wise, but many other potential infections as well.

So you need to be quite cautious here and certainly take that into account. So it can be related to having several sexual partners.

Candida Question #59 How Doctor Diagnose For A Yeast Infection?

Well, there are many ways that your doctor could potentially test. But if you’re talking about a vaginal yeast infection, your doctor will probably do a smear test and take some cell samples there of the cervix or the vaginal wall and check to see if they can culture yeast off this or bacteria.

The other way that some doctors do it is by way of blood testing by checking for antibody levels. But generally medical practitioners will test by doing swabs. Not many medical practitioners really believe in systemic Candidiasis or blood-borne Candida infections, even though they do exist and there’s certainly plenty written in the medical literature about this; not many believe it.

But antibody testing is quite valid, although some argue that you can have antibodies all your life to Candida and not have symptoms; what we call asymptomatic. Others believe that antibody levels are significant regardless whether you have symptoms or not and still signify you need treatment for Candida.

I believe the best way to test for a yeast infection is a stool test. And I’m going to do a lot of FAQs on stool testing and explain stool testing in-depth to you, the various components of the stool test, and why this is a superior way to test for yeast infection.

So how does a doctor test for yeast infection? Usually a swab or a vaginal test is the main way, if they test at all. But, yeah, that would be the way they would test.
