Can i catch a yeast infection from another girl?


Can i catch a yeast infection from another girl?

No, yeast infections are not contagious. You can catch bacterial vaginosis from another girl, however. The symptoms are very similar, but more intense (ie, alot of discharge and itching, a fishy smelling odor). It is a sexually transmitted infection, rather than an std. It is very easilly cured with a trip to the gyno and either an antibiotic or a cream.

Yeast infections can be passed to men, from women, through intercourse, but I don't know how you would "catch it" woman-to-woman.

Yes. As long as the conditions are suitable for the fungus to grow.

Maybe
