It is important for a woman to know the main causes of a yeast infection. By being well informed a woman can better decide on a treatment and can prevent it. Many women have recurring yeast infections because they are only treating symptoms and are not educating themselves about cause. So in order to avoid the embarressment of having a yeast infection check out this article.
A yeast infection happens because the fungus Candida albicans grow out of control. Usually these micro organisms are in our bodies but are not a health issue because they are controlled by good bacteria. When something affects our immune system and our good bacteria, the fungus has a chance to grow and spread into an infection. It can affect various parts of the body as it loves warm, damp and dark environments. The most common area it affects is the vagina which is why it is viewed as a female problem, but it can affect men and children too. It can grow on the penis, in the gut, under folds of skin and in the mouth (Thrush).
There are some drugs to avoid as they can cause a yeast infection. Birth control pills can affect the hormonal balance as can steroids. Antibiotics are very much to blame for many people’s infections as they kill good bacteria as well as the bad, which means the fungus is not being kept under control.
It is possible to get a yeast infection from unprotected sex. If the woman has a vaginal yeast infection she can pass it on to the man and he can get it on his penis and vicer versa. Should you be infected either abstain until you are clear or practice safe sex and wear a condom. Do be careful when choosing your condoms though as there are spermicides that can cause infection as they mess up the pH balance.
Avoid douching. Doctors are quite anti douching nowadays for good reasons and there is no need for it as the vagina is self cleaning. Douching also affects the pH of the vagina leading to yeast infection.
Finally make wise clothing choices both in material and how they fit. Tight fitting clothing allows the area to get warm and damp as does synthetic materials. Loose clothing allows air to circulate and wear breathable materials such as cotton or bamboo.
