Yeast Infection Cause

Searching For The Yeast Infection's Cause? A yeast
infection is an overgrowth of yeast in any area of the
body. Yeast infections are also called thrush (usually
when referring to the mouth and digestive tract), and
candida (candida is the specific name of bacteria
causing yeast infections). There is no single yeast
infection cause. There are many things that can lead
to yeast infections but the most common causal
explanations are: a decrease in the acidity of your
vagina due to the use of contraceptives, antibiotics,
pregnancy, and menstruation (because blood is an
alkaline, basic). All of these things alter hormone
levels in the body causing changes in the vaginal
environment and making it the ideal place for fungus
to grow and thrive. Vaginal candidiasis is not
referred to as a sexually transmitted disease,
however, you can contract if from your partner if they
have a yeast infection.
