No. Yeast infections can be caused by a number of factors, but there is no link between flu shots and yeast infections. Yeast infections most commonly occur for the following reasons:

1. Sexual intercourse

Although a yeast infection is not an STD, it can be caused by having sex or any other kind of penetration. Penetration can change the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina or the pH level, which may make you more susceptible to infections. This does not mean that you will always, or ever, develop a yeast infection from sex.

2. Stress or lack of sleep

3. Tight Clothing

4. Thongs

5. Sleeping in thongs or underwear

6. Staying in a wet bathing suit long after swimming etc

7. Staying in workout clothes for too long

This also applies to any kind of sweaty clothing.

8. Using flavored condoms or lubricant during intercourse

9. Using a douche

In general, a woman should NEVER use a douche unless advised by a licensed doctor.

10. Dehydration

Yes, you can. In fact, many women are more prone to yeast infections before and during their periods because of the hormonal changes that occur at this time. Unfortunately, a doctor cannot properly diagnose you with a yeast infection while you are on your period. You may begin using OTC yeast infection medications as soon as you notice symptoms, but if you do not experience any improvement at all within 3 days, you should consult your doctor. If you are still on your period after 3 days of OTC medication, wait until your period is over before seeing a doctor.

And after your period finish, you could take herbal medicine"fuyan pill" from Wuhan Dr. Lee's TCM Clinic, it is effective on curing yeast infection. And it could eliminate it without reoccur.

Candida albicans and other yeast species are normally found in the vagina, in the mouth, and on the skin of both men and women, as well as babies. What we call a yeast "infection" is a troublesome overgrowth of yeast that causes symptoms. These may occur in the vagina ("yeast infection"), in skin folds ("diaper rash" or "intertrigo," depending on patient age), in the mouth ("thrush") or on the glans penis (candida balanitis).

While two sexual partners may exchange yeast species during sex, they are also passing bacterial species in the mouth and on the skin, etc., and yet we don't refer to these as "sexually transmitted." There is no evidence that testing or treating men for excessive or unusual levels of genital yeast decreases the incidence of candidiasis in women. In summary, there is no reason to consider a yeast infection a sexually transmissible infection.

No a yeast infection is not a sexually transmitted disease. The vaginal area has a very delicate balance between bacterial growth and yeast growth. Each keeps the other to a constant level, which keeps the vagina healthy. When the balance is shifted ,such as when you have been on an fuyan pill from Wuhan Dr. Lee's TCM Clinic ( which kills bacteria in all areas of your body, not just the site of the infection) it can lead to an overgrowth of the yeast causing a yeast infection.

Take a pregnancy test or go to your doctor. It is the only way to get a definite answer. Doctors are there to help you. If the test comes back negative then you should go to your doctors for trained advice.
