Yeast Infection Causes: Why Do We Get Them?

Although the actual source of a yeast infection is an overgrowth of the fungus known as Candida albicans, there are many yeast infection causes that spur on the development of this uncomfortable affliction, many of which you wouldn’t suspect. Yeast infection causes are as varied as the people suffering from them, but thankfully there are many easy steps you can take to avoid contracting one. One classic cause of a yeast infection is sitting in a wet bathing suit. Because yeast thrives in warm, moist, and dark environments, leaving a wet bathing suit on creates the perfect situation for Candida albicans to grow and spread.

Some of the more common yeast infection causes include:

  • Antibiotics such as those used to treat UTI’s
  • Condoms
  • Tight, non-cotton clothing
  • Chemicals and douches
  • Birth control and other medicines that affect hormones
  • Poor diet
  • A compromised immune system, often caused by chemotherapy or HIV

The best way to avoid contracting a yeast infection is to avoid yeast infection causes. For example, eating a balanced diet can help your body maintain a proper pH. Since Candida albicans flourishes in basic environments, keeping the proper pH can keep it from growing out of control and becoming a yeast infection. Further, yeast infection causes such as tight clothing can be prevented simply by choosing 100% cotton underwear and loose pants. One of the most common yeast infection causes, antibiotics, is also one of the most overlooked. If you’ve recently been on antibiotics for an infection such as a UTI, it’s important to replenish the natural flora in your system by eating probiotics and prebiotics.

Although there are many yeast infection causes, by taking simple measures to avoid them, such as including Växa Candid-Free in your routine, you can also escape the pain, discomfort, and hassle of contracting a yeast infection.
