Thread: Does switching back and forth from the vagina to the anus during intercourse cause yeast infections?

I have heard this, but some people say no. Can anyone direct me to some creditable medical information?

Thank you.
Pin Worms?

ew.

yes, it will. it will also cause alot of other health problems for you. the only safe way to do it is to switch condoms each time you switch holes. please....don't go anal, it really isn't good for you to do.

from what i understand this is true but i dont know of any legit medical sites that discuss this

It can cause UTI's I believe...daass is nasty and the vag is pretty damned clean. It's not a good idea. If you go from daass and want to get back into the vag...clean it first.

There is A LOT of bacteria and I mean A LOT of bacteria in your anus. Nothing that I would want anywhere near my vagina. It can cause more than just yeast infections. For example think about people who have pin-worm infections of the anus.

Yeah, it can cause infections because there are bacteria (and poop!) in your butt that you just don't want in your vagina..

Yes, and many other bacterial infections. If you are going to engage in anal intercourse, save it for last. Always wear a condom and have adequate lubrication. I can't stop you from doing it, so please be safe. Never go from anal to oral. Change your condom every time you change location. Anal sex can lead to tears and fissures, which your natural flora can then enter, causing infections. Most commonly it leads to a little gas, cramping, or diarrhea. If you're going to engage in this activity, be smart, be safe.

Edit: You cannot cause a vaginal UTI. A UTI is an infection of the urinary tract caused by bacteria being forced into the urethra. While the urethral meatus (opening) is very near the vagina, and this is why many women experience UTIs after sexual activity, they are not one in the same. However, urinary tract infections are one of many infections that can come from intercourse, anal-vaginal or otherwise.

Yeast would be the least of her concerns. You do not want to be introducing E. coli into a vagina.

yeah this will give her vaginal UTI
