Yeast
infection is not considered to be a sexually transmitted
disease; however, you can spread a
yeast infection to your sexual partner. The bacteria
are very contagious, and so, it’s best to avoid any
sexual intercourse when afflicted with a yeast infection
and begin immediate treatment to eliminate the
infection. While there are many forms of a yeast
infection, the most common form is genital, due to the
high moisture and restriction of ventilation in the
genital area.
The
most common symptoms you’ll notice of a yeast infection
are the aggravating intense burning and itching in the
vaginal area. Many times these symptoms become so
extreme it's frequently difficult to walk or sleep due
to the extreme irritation. These rashes are accompanied
by a foul smelling white/yellowish discharge that
becomes worse as the yeast infection
progresses.
Avoiding
Yeast Infection Aggravation:
·
First,
never self diagnose a yeast infection. Always consult a
doctor and be certain you don’t have another
problem.
·
Some
yeast infection prevention tips to help avoid recurring
infections are to avoid using deodorant soaps, deodorant
sprays and spritz near and around the vaginal
area.
·
Stop
the use of any douching products and deodorant
tampons.
The deodorants may smell nice but can disturb the
natural alkaline balance within the vagina and push the
infection farther up into the
uterus.
·
Wear
cotton underwear.
·
Avoid
tight fitting clothing that doesn’t allow proper
ventilation to the genital area
·
Avoid
scratching in that area. Yeast infections
can be irritating until treated, but itching and
scratching the area will cause abrasions and the area
can become even more irritated.
·
Avoid
any sexual intercourse until the yeast infection is
eliminated.
You can transfer the infection to your partner
thereby creating a recurring contagious environment;
transferring the yeast infection back and
forth.
