The seminal fluid actually neutralizes and lubricates the vagina. That does not mean continuous sex though. I have been a chronic yeast person for many years. The other thing that is helpful is to take acidophilus tabs, 3x/day and applying aci-jel vaginally. The partner does need to be checked for yeast and treated also because yeast can be passed back and forth. Now, I just eat natual yogart daily for prevention and cut out as much sugar as possible. Holidays are not alot of fun. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Pat Bull, RN, IBCLC The Breastfeeding Connection/Medela Naperville, IL
