A yeast infection typically does not affect ovulation directly. Yeast infections occur in the vagina and are caused by an overgrowth of Candida, which does not usually interfere with the hormonal processes involved in ovulation. However, consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about recurring infections or fertility issues.
