Answer #1

Thrush is caused by a fungus called candida (usually candida albicans) and many people refer to it yeast infection, as in above post. It is not a sexually transmitted infection. It is very common in women and easily treated. Some women get it frequently for no identifiable reason.

Stick with the treatment your doctor prescribed and you’ll be fine.

Answer #2

It’s not caused by having sex, but it can exacerbate it if you have a mild infection, and it can be transmitted.

Thrush, or ‘yeast infection’ can happen by using chemicals to clean yourself (soaps are very bad for this), tight clothing or clothing that doesn’t breathe, antibiotics, condoms, friction, and a few other causes.
