Condoms - Cause Of Yeast Infection

Posted by Dr. Eden Chang

Using condoms could be the next cause of triggering infection for you. This could happen in two different ways:

1.Nonoxynol-9 is proven to be linked with yeast infections and this is the same lubricant they use for packaging most of the condoms since it is a spermicide known to kill HIV virus. You can easily solve this problem by using a condom that is not sprayed with this lubricant and instead use another spermicide barrier.

2.Some ladies have an allergy problem with latex that is used to make condoms. In such a case you can still practice safe sex by using an alternative like the newer condoms which uses polyurethane – usually used by boys and girls.

The following are the top causes of yeast infection:

Antibiotics	Chemicals	Clothing
Condoms	Diet	Hormones
Immune system	Injury	Sexual Transmission
