If you're treating a yeast infection, you should abstain from sex during the course of the treatment and cure (about seven days). This way, your body will have a chance to completely heal and you will minimize the chance of transmitting the infection to your partner. Canesten may reduce the effectiveness and safety of latex condoms and diaphragms, as well as vaginal spermicides. This effect is temporary and occurs only during treatment.
