“Does it really matter that you get yeast infections, It only got them once in a while? “ and how about, “ What if I get yeast infections more than a couple times a year? I have other fertility issues and recurring yeast infections, do you think that the yeast infections are contributing to my difficulties in trying to get pregnant?“
These are all questions we get from women quite often. One of the questions on our natural fertility consultation Intake form asks women if they have yeast infections ams many of those women have checked yeast infections as a problem they have to deal with or have dealt with in the past.
** How Can Yeast Infections Affect My Fertility**?
If you only get a yeast infection once or twice a year and it is easily treated by home methods, you are probably fine and the only way it will affect your fertility is by making you so uncomfortable from itching and slight burning you will not want to have sexual intercourse.
Remember that yeast infection can be passed on to your partner; so it is best to avoid sexual contact while you have a yeast infection or any type of vaginal infection.
Recurrent vaginal yeast infections cause the internal vaginal flora to become unbalanced which may make it harder for the sperm to reach the uterus.
Sperm is not killed by overgrowth of Candida, but because the infection changes the consistency of the cervical mucous, it may make it more difficult for the sperm to reach the cervical opening.
An imbalance in our vaginal flora impairs the vaginal mucosa’s ability to fight off other infections or diseases, which may lead to other fertility issues later in life. Having a yeast infection is difficult on the body's immune system and if you have other fertility issues you are trying to heal, it may make it harder on your body if it is constantly fighting Candida overgrowth.
