Can sperm cause a yeast infection while on your period?

Answer 1

No it cant because the womens body already has acids in it to protect itself from bacteria, so the yest infection will make sperm even harder to survive because the infection will eat away also at the sperm.

Answer 2

If you get a yeast infection, it is definitely not from your husband's sperm.

A yeast infection, which is also known as candidiasis, is caused by a specific yeast-like microorganism. It is known as candida albicans and is commonly found in the human intestinal tract. What many gynecologists recommend is that females wipe from front to back after defecating (bowel movement) in order to minimize the chances of the yeast entering the reproductive tract; the vagina, because of its close proximity to the anus.

The same microorganism can cause a condition known as thrush, which happens to children and the elderly. It is generally focused around the mouth and the anus.

There is some speculation that the imbalance of intestinal flora, the friendly bacteria, in the intestinal tract have become unbalanced, and that may lead to a yeast infection, or thrush. This can be caused by the use of antibiotics, like penicillin.

One of the remedies that may help would be to include pro-biotic foods in your diet on a regular basis. These would include naturally fermented foods with active cultures like yogurt, buttermilk, sauerkraut, kim chee, kefir, or kombucha. You can also go to a vitamin shop, or a health food store, and buy probiotic capsules that can be found in the supplement section.

Answer 3

Infertile sperm is not a cause of yeast infection.

A yeast infection occurs when naturally occurring yeast in the vagina or vulva is allowed to multiply to unhealthy levels. Sex can contribute to a yeast infection if your partner has a yeast infection or if having sex without a condom/femidom semen has a different pH to the vagina so may cause an imbalance in vaginal flora. Whether fertile or not makes no difference, semen can lead to a yeast infection but is not the primary cause.

Answer 4

Yes, though you should only do so if you actually have a yeast infection.

It serves no purpose or hindrance in relation to the period itself.
