Could Yeast Infection Along With Haemorrhoids Be Due To Coconut Oil Massage?

My female friend had her boyfriend use The Body Shop s Coconut Beautifying Coconut oil as a massage oil. And one thing let do another and now she has a yeast infection and a hemorrhoid with severe itching and pain internally and externally and it s been 3 days. Would the coconut product be to blame? and if so are standard over the counter medicines effective for treating this?
