Can you catch a cold from a guy who has a cold by swallowing his semen?

Answer 1

It is unclear if you can "catch" a yeast infection form your male partner, as it is not easily answerable if there is even yeast in semen. A candida overgrowth in the male may be a possible cause if it is possible. Semen can however lower the pH scale in your vagina, disrupting the normal acidic environment, leading to unwanted bacterial and fungal (yeast) growth.

Yeast infections are caused when the vagina's normal bacteria are unable to keep naturally occurring yeast under control.

Common causes of yeast infection include douching (removes the good bacteria), taking antibiotics (it also kills those good bacteria when killing the harmful infection), letting semen sit in the vagina after intercourse (it changes the pH level and may interfere with normal bacterial function), or an over abundance of yeast entering the vagina.

After unprotected intercourse you develop any abnormal itching, odor, bumps, or discharge, see your doctor. These could be signs of an STD.

Answer 2

No. The common cold is caused by a virus, actually over 250 strains have been identified in causing the common cold. The germs reside in the respiratory system of the infected person. When a person sneezes or coughs the germs are released in the air in the fluids from the respiratory system and sprayed onto the nearby surfaces like your keyboard, phone, (viruses can remain alive on these surfaces for several hours) or you. If you touch these surfaces and then your eyes or nose you are infecting yourself. This is why it's so very important to wash your hands frequently throughout the day.

Answer 3

Yes depending on what semen your mixing with your and if you keep your jygiene up after having sex. If you leave semen on yourself often after having sex it can cause yeast to build up inside,outside, and even all over your body, taking care of your body is a must after sex, try to even use a douch after sex ( if you are a female asking) but not to much, because the females body functions cleanses itself monthly. Also use dove soap to clean your genitals, my doctor told me this is good for females to use because it not only cleanses well but it helps to Balance out you PH (no fishy smells at all) follow these instructions and I promise you will see a change.

Answer 4

OH yes! HIV, HPV, Herpes and Hepatitis, just to name a few.
