What exactly causes a yeast infection?
As I sit here experiencing the worst one I’ve ever had, I get it makes me wonder about it. What exactly causes them?
I know that sometimes taking anti-biotics can, but I haven’t taken any. I also have heard that sitting around in a wet swimsuit also can, but not only is it the middle of February, I haven’t had my pregnant butt in a swimsuit in a while.
So, what is the correct medial explanation for a yeast infection?

A change in the pH balance of the vagina or a change in your hormonal balance weakens your system.
Antibiotics and other medications can suppress the “good” bacteria in the vagina, resulting in a yeast overgrowth. Steroid therapy can cause this too
Pregnancy and menstruation can increase glucose levels and/or alter the pH of the vagina so Candida can grow
Diabetes can raise your blood sugar, which can cause yeast to grow rapidly.
Staying in a wet bathing suit or wearing tight jeans or synthetic underwear, can create the kind of warm, moist environment that encourages yeast growth.
Douching and wiping from rear to front can affect the vaginal area.
A weakened immune system can also result in yeast overgrowth.
I agree with the first response. It is also advisable to wear a cotton underwear. For some women eating sugary stuff is the cause.
Mine comes often. This time it;s after antibiotics. And even though I used one pill treatment( deflucan), I started experiencing the same symptoms about a week ago. It’s sometimes so difficult for me to find the right treatment. Today I couldn’t stand that itching and burning and decided to go back to the doctor. This time he prescribed me some cream. I am going to use it now before going to bed and hope it helps.
There are really many reasons for having a yeast infectioin. To me ot also happens because of my hormones which are out of balance. Waiting for my period, so I guess, again hormonal thing.
Good luck!
Hey I understand what you mean.
Monistat didn’t work for me.. my doctor prescribed me meds and it made even worst!
Despite when it manage to heal, the yeast infection will come back again (means it’s not fully cured).
I realized the only real cure for Yeast infection is doing the natural way so it won’t come back again!

if your pregnant it is quite possible that is what is causing it. your hormones are all amok when pregnant and can lead to an infection. a yeast infection is when your balance of good and bad bacteria in the body is amiss. yes antibiotics cause this too, as well as damp, moist places (ie swimsuit) but more likely you should talk to your gyno about this condition and see if you should be supplementing your diet.
