Does having sex with a different partner
cause yeast infections? Can a man give it
to a woman?

Men can get thrush so yes they can pass it
on, but you can also get thrush without
ever having sex.
If you get recurrent yeast infections see
your doctor about a long term plan to help
prevent outbreaks.
Common things that make it worse are tight
clothing, man made fabric (try to wear
natural fabrics when possible), some
soaps, not drinking enough water, wearing
thongs.
Try some over the counter treatments and
treat your partner to so he doesn't just
give it back to you.
If you are having sex with more than one
person you should definately be using
condoms.
