If my wife rubs brewers yeast on her  v.a.g.i.n.a, would she get a yeast infection?

I don't know about the brewer's yeast,  but a couple of the responses you have gotten here are just plain wrong.  A vaginal yeast infection is just that, it is an infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the vaginal canal, often resulting from loss of the normal bacteria found in this area.  The usual culprit is an organism called Candida albicans.  This is a yeast, not bacteria.  Many antibiotics when taken by women can cause a reduction of the normal bacteria in the vaginal canal, the loss of bacteria allows yeast ro grow.  Other things that can cause vaginal yeast infections can be douches, bubble baths and even sex.  There is a complex environment within the vagina a certain amount of bacteria and even a small amount of yeast is normal. also there is a normal pH.  If any of these factors become imbalanced, an infection often occurs.

This is natural, you shouldn't use scented tampons, douches or feminine sprays (It is suppose to have some odour).  Using these products can cause yeast infections etc.....   Just make sure your pad/tampon is kept fresh and shower daily.

as long as you don't blow into the woman's vaginal opening, and you dont have any stds, nor does she, and she washes down there and doesnt have a yeast infection, there shouldn't be any harm

It's possible if her hands aren't clean.  She could easily carry herpes on her hand.  I'm sure she washed them though in the sink on the street corner using the anti-bacterial/anti-virual lotion before you picked her up.

The yeast would pretty much eat the sugar until they died from the high concentration of alcohol surrounding them. Tha alcohol is their waste product.

Yeast is a naturally occurring flora found in the vaginal tract.  I suspect the condom changes the pH of your vagina making it more favorable for yeast to replicate too much and cause an infection.  I would NOT douche after sex as this may make the problem even worse!  Other thoughts:  You may have an allergy to the compound of the condom - try the latex version.  Also if you are using the spermicide type then try the type without.  If you need more lubrication, then there are lubricants that are compatible with condoms at local drugs stores.  Lastly you might try adding some yogurt to your diet.  There are active cultures (bacteria) in the yogurt that can help keep yeast organism at bay.  Good luck.

You too can get a yeast infection - Doctors will advise using the vaginal creams on a partner to keep a woman from being reinfected. I am sure you don't want to go purchase a tube of Monostate 7 for yourself - so try an athletes foot or jock itch remedy

Well, the yeast infections could be caused by the antibiotics that are being used to treat her bladder infections. Tell her to increase her intake of probiotics such as yogurt with live cultures.

The symptoms of vaginal yeast infection include:\n\nVaginal itching that is often severe. \nVaginal discharge that is usually white, curdlike, and odorless. \nRed, irritated skin around the opening to the vagina (labia). \nPain while urinating when urine touches irritated skin. \nPain in the vagina during sexual intercourse. \nSymptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are more likely to occur during the week before a menstrual period.\n\nThere also another way you can wipe yourself with your finger down there if its white and sticky its yeast, but you'll probably known before that cause you'll just known.

Yeast can cause some pain.

It depends.  Generally, if the woman is in good health, it's just the vagina cleaning itself out.  It's perfectly normal.  \n\nIf it smells funky or looks weird, it might be a yeast infection or a sign of some other illness.\n\nHope this helps!

This is a sensitive subject and you should proceed with caution.  She might have a yeast infection.  Maybe mention that you smelled something funny, but try not to just tell her directly that it's her.  Perhaps she'll take a hint.

Sure she can go swimming the yeast infection cannot spread from swimming. Just tell her to not lay around in a wet bating suit for too long the moisture will cause her to itch like crazy and promote the yeast infection even more.

Could be a yeast infection.  And it depends on how long and often it happens.  She may have it for life because of her genes or what not.  There are several over the counter medications for this. but she should go see her doctor because it could be anything.  But that is what my yeast infections were like when i was that young.  Tell your friend i say good luck and if she is itchy or burning there....there is a cream that was god sent!!!!

The only way it could harm her is if the water is unclean or if a jet of water goes up her vagina which wouldn't happen during sex unless you are using the shower hear or water skiing while you do it or soemthing like that, lol. If you REALLY want to have sex in the water, try doing it either in the shower or in the bath, but make sure there is only water in it and not bubble bath or oils or anything, as it's very easy for a woman to get a yeast infection if the pH of her vagina becomes unbalanced.

No it was not yeast.  It was most likely a pimple and nothing more.  Next time don't pop it though as you don't want to spread the bacteria to some other place.

apart from the obvious risks of liver problems etc.\nSugary alcohol can encourage yeast infections in the vagina due to all the extra sugar in it
