f you get a yeast infection, it is definitely not from your husband's sperm.

A yeast infection, which is also known as candidiasis, is caused by a specific yeast-like microorganism. It is known as candida albicans and is commonly found in the human intestinal tract. What many gynecologists recommend is that females wipe from front to back after defecating (bowel movement) in order to minimize the chances of the yeast entering the reproductive tract; the vagina, because of its close proximity to the anus.

The same microorganism can cause a condition known as thrush, which happens to children and the elderly. It is generally focused around the mouth and the anus.

There is some speculation that the imbalance of intestinal flora, the friendly bacteria, in the intestinal tract have become unbalanced, and that may lead to a yeast infection, or thrush. This can be caused by the use of antibiotics, like penicillin.

One of the remedies that may help would be to include pro-biotic foods in your diet on a regular basis. These would include naturally fermented foods with active cultures like yogurt, buttermilk, sauerkraut, kim chee, kefir, or kombucha. You can also go to a vitamin shop, or a health food store, and buy probiotic capsules that can be found in the supplement section.

No sperm does not cause yeast. But we all have yeast in and on our body at all times. It is possible yeast from your partner was introduced to your vagina by his penis, or yeast from your own body used the warmth and moisture created by sex to grow out of control.

Make sure your partner is fresh and clean before having sex and you make sure to keep your lady parts extra clean and dry both before sex and as soon as possible after.

Wearing cotton panties and cotton clothing will help the area "breathe" while nylon or polyester will trap moisture in the area.
