Possible Causes of Candida

 Possible Causes of Candida
What are the possible causes of candida fungus overgrowth? Why does a woman get a vaginal yeast infection? When certain Candida occurs, no longer controlled by the good bacteria of our immune system, it feels free to proliferate.

The controls on candida can be deactivated by:

• The presence of a pregnancy through the increase of estrogen.
• Diabetes mellitus. The high presence of glucose in the blood promotes yeast infection.
• The presence of a weak immune system because it is oppressed by drugs such as corticosteroids or chemotherapy or compromised by diseases such as AIDS.
• The use of an intrauterine device (IUD).
• The use of tight underwear that does not allow air circulation.
• Prolonged use of antibiotics. These drugs, taken orally, tend to destroy the vaginal bacteria that normally prevent the development of yeasts. For this reason, their use, especially if prolonged, increases the risk of developing infections and therefore contracting candida.
• Bad personal hygiene. It might seem trivial but even the rough drying of the vagina after a shower or bath creates a humid and warm habitat, ideal for the fungus. The use of poor detergents is also causing damage.
