Yeast infections occur when the natural balance of the vagina is thrown off and yeast cells, which are always present in small amounts, begin growing unchecked. Spermacides were not mentioned in any of the information I found on causes of yeast infections, although sometimes having intercourse can make a woman more susceptible to them.
Women can, however, have allergies to spermacide, which can produce redness and irritation.
These symptoms are different than yeast infections, though, and should not be treated with yeast medication.
