Useful Information About Yeast Infection

There are several points of correlation between yeast infections and sperm. In answer to he question,Does a yeast infection kill sperm?—“A Confusing Subjectâ€� Articles “Does a yeast infection kill sperm?”—Yes, according to some it can possibly kill sperm before it can reach the uterus. Actually, the thick cheesy discharge that is a product of a yeast infection coupled wit the cream that is used to cure the infection can kill sperm. Now, this is only one answer to this question—some experts contend that a yeast infection cannot directly affect a woman’s chances of being impregnated. These experts just remark that the irritability, itching, and burning of the yeast infection can get a woman out of the proper mood for sex—and, of course, with abstinence, there is no chance for fertility other than using an artificial method. Of course, this irritability has nothing to do with sperm.

There are infections similar to a yeast infection that can change the acidity of your birth canal (vagina). This can definitely hinder your chance of conceiving because the sperm has a harder time getting to the egg. A yeast infection normally does not change this acidity in the vagina—the vaginal acid can actually keep the Candida fungus (which causes yeast infection) from growing out of control. Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are two infections that have a yeast infection similarity—these are the two culprits that slow down the sperm by means of changing the acidity in the vagina.

Does a yeast infection kill sperm? I don’t know—it really is confusing. It depends on how you look at it and most of all whose opinion you are listening to. Experts say “Yes” and experts say “No” in answer to this question.

Now, let’s talk about spermicides---another correlation between yeast infection and sperm. A spermicide is an agent directly intended for the killing of sperm. There is one such medication known for its effectiveness in the prevention of the spreading of AIDS. This particular spermicide—nonoxynol 9 can increase the risk of yeast infection. So this sort of twists the question, “Does a yeast infection kill sperm?” around. The answer could be “Maybe” or “Maybe not” but there is a spermicide that is connected with the aggravation of yeast infection.

I have seen this question answered in even another manner. An expert who was asked this question directly answered directly, “No”—just as solidly as the “Yes” answer earlier.  This person went on to say that, although a yeast infection could not directly kill sperm, there are particular medications for yeast infection that can slow down the movement of the sperm on its way to the uterus through the birth canal.

In conclusion, in answer to the question, “Does a yeast infection kill sperm?”—the answer is “Yes”—the thick discharge and medication cream can kill sperm. The answer is also, “No”—a yeast infection does not kill sperm, the sperm is just slowed down in travel by some yeast infection medicines. Take your choice of these two answers to a terribly confusing subject. I do know that sperm, yeast infections, fertility, and spermicides all have a definite correlation between them.
