Hi,

Candidiasis (Yeast infection) causes itching, dryness & swelling, soreness & pain during sex. Though usually not STI yet it can cause much discomfort. To get rid of it, take care of your immune system, take dietary supplements/ multivitamins with minerals.

Maintain the hormone & electrolyte balance of your body. Stay away from stress and take adequate sleep. Take Vitamin E (Evion), water based vaginal lubricants/coconut, antifungals (Flucnazole) and vaginal suppositories. Avoid douching and tight fitting clothes

Hope I have answered your query.
