Most common causes of yeast
infection
Vaginal yeast infections are caused by Candida
albicans, which, along with a few types of bacteria, are normally present in relatively small numbers in your
crotch. Sometimes the yeast multiplies rapidly and takes over, causing a full-fledged yeast infection, or, in
the heart-warming terminology of the medical establishment, candidacies or monilia.
this can be due to a change in the vaginal environment, injury, sexual transmission, or HIV. Common
environmental disruptions that favor yeast include increased pH, increased heat and moisture, allergic
reactions, elevated sugar levels, hormonal fluxes, and reductions in the populations of bacteria that are
normally present.

Yeast infections are caused by a organism in your body called Candida
Albicans. This leads to a condition in your body called Candidacies or Candida for short. Believe
it or not, Candida is often passed on from a mother to a newborn baby during birth. It is only when this
healthy balance of microorganisms in your body is disrupted that a yeast infection develops. Under normal
conditions the yeast-like fungus Candida lives quite happily in your intestines, your mouth, and your groin
and generally on the human skin. The yeast infection when gone awry creates localized problems such as a
vaginal yeast infection or a yeast infection of the mouth, thrush.
Most any woman who has had a yeast infection can explain every painful, irritating,
and overly itchy detail with burning accuracy. What many women do not know is the cause of yeast infection.
This means they can only hope to avoid getting another, which they ultimately will if they aren't properly
protecting themselves against yeast infections.
Vaginal yeast infections are the most commonly known types of yeast infection.
Thrush is common in babies, the elderly, diabetics and people who take steroids.
Others who commonly have yeast infections include people who have weak immune systems. The broad cause of
yeast infections in all of these people is an overgrowth of candidiasis.
Wearing damp under clothing, including swim suits or sweaty gym clothing, is also on
the list of common causes of yeast infections. The moisture can cause yeast infections on the skin in creases
and under 'fat rolls' as well as increasing your chances of getting a vaginal yeast infection. Many people do
not realize that Candida can flourish on the skin's surface in areas where skin folds are touching. This can
be an ongoing problem for overweight people.
Perhaps the most common cause of yeast infections is antibiotic usage. Taking
antibiotics kills bacteria in the body; this can cause a change in the balance and an overgrowth of Candida
which, of course, causes yeast infections. People who are prone to yeast infections can take an oral
antibiotic/anti-fungal that will help by preventing the imbalance that causes yeast infections.
Another common
misconception is that people get yeast infections from not being clean so using douches and washing excessively
will help this. In reality, washing excessively and douching more frequently than suggested can cause a yeast
infection. The excessive washing can kill enough bacteria that is supposed to be on the skin causing an
overgrowth of Candida. Sudsy bath products can also cause yeast infections. Bubble baths aren't healthy for the
female genitalia and shouldn't be used unless care is taken to rinse thoroughly and not allow suds to come in
contact with the vagina.
Knowing what to look for and what causes yeast infections can help you to prevent
future infections, and any woman who has had one will agree; preventing a yeast infection is much better than
treating one.
