Susan,
I hesitate to say this, but I find just the opposite. 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.
