It is an interesting fact that three out of four women world wide will have had a yeast infection at some time in their life. Clearly yeast infections are a common ailment though this does not mean they are not extremely uncomfortable and unpleasant to deal with. They can make a woman’s life a very difficult time whilst infected. There is much writing and discussion about yeast infections; symptoms, how to avoid them, how to treat them. But it is also important to know why they happen, what causes yeast infections, why do they reoccur and why do some women seem to get them more often than others.
It starts with a fungus called Candida Albicans. This can be found in many places around the body including your mouth, the vagina and your intestines. Where ever this fungus is, the yeast infection could develop. They do not automatically cause a yeast infection. In order for that to happen an imbalance has to occur and this lets them multiply.
When the fungus over grows in the mouth the infection is known as Thrush. There are different reasons why the fungus might be allowed to do this including:
Tight clothing – this allows moisture to stay trapped in the area thus giving the fungi its perfect environment in which to grow.
Antibiotics – these are designed to kill bacteria. Unfortunately they do not know the difference between bad bacteria and good bacteria so they kill it all. The good bacteria is what was keeping the fungus under control.
Pregnancy – during pregnancy the body is out of balance anyway thus possibly leading to a yeast infection.
Diabetes – is a problem with sugar. Sugar feeds the fungus that leads to a yeast infection.
There are other reasons for yeast infections to occur but those mentioned are the main ones. Some you can help control and some you cannot. Also worth knowing is that women who have a lot of yeast infections should consider getting tested for HIV as it has been found that HIV positive women commonly have reoccurring infections. That does not mean of course that you definitely have HIV, just that it should be checked. If we understand how and why something happens, we are better equipped at preventing it.
Now that you know exactly what causes yeast infections, you can probably deal with the situation a lot better and in a natural way.
