Possibly the condom caused an irritation that by coincidence occurred at the time a yeast infection was brewing and caused the irritation common to yeast infection, but the condom, should not in itself cause the infection.
Yeast infections are caused by an imbalance in the flora of your intestines or vagina. The over growth of the Candida a type of fungus is generally caused by taking antibiotics or the increase of estrogen common in pregnancy.
Yeast causes a dry clumpy discharge that has no odor but is extremely irritating to the vaginal tissue.
Using an anti fungal cream or suppository and using lactobacillus when you are taking antibiotics are both a big help in keeping the yeast under control.
Also keeping the area clean and dry, wearing 100% cotton underwear, getting out of a wet bathing suit as soon as possible are all methods for controlling the recurrence. There are some chronic illnesses like Diabetes that will make one more susceptible to yeast infection.
