You should wait five to seven days after completing yeast infection treatment before you can have sex again. Otherwise, it can lead to irritability, itchiness, burning and swelling.
What Is the difference between UTI and yeast infection?
Yeast infections occur due to an overgrowth of the Candida fungus, causing itching, pain, and odourless white vaginal discharge. In contrast, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by bacterial or fungal infections in the urinary tract. Symptoms include frequent urination along with pain and burning while urinating.
Do I have to get my sexual partner treated as well if I have a yeast infection?
Although sexual transmission of Candida species can occur, most experts do not recommend treatment of yeast infection for your sexual partner if they don’t have any symptoms or risk factors like diabetes, being immunocompromised etc.

· Itching and irritation in the vagina
