 Causes of vaginal yeast infections

In women of childbearing age, yeast infections due to Candida albicans are particularly common. Normally, this yeast resides in the skin or intestines, from which it can spread to the vagina. Yeast infections are not sexually transmitted;

Vaginal yeast infections are more likely in women:

• during pregnancy
• who have diabetes
• with a weakened immune system, suppressed by drugs (such as corticosteroids or chemotherapy) or compromised by medical conditions (such as AIDS )
• who use an intrauterine device (IUD)
• who wear tight underwear that does not allow air circulation
• taking antibiotics

Oral antibiotics tend to destroy vaginal bacteria that normally prevent yeast from developing. Therefore, their use increases the risk of developing yeast infections.

These infections occur mainly shortly before the menstrual cycle.

After menopause, yeast infections are less common, with the exception of women taking hormone therapy .

Male partners of women with vaginal yeast infections rarely become infected.

What disrupts the vaginal flora and allows a fungus to develop?

 What disrupts the vaginal flora and allows a fungus to develop?

There are several factors that can disrupt the healthy balance between bacteria and fungi in the vagina:

• Hormonal changes during your period, pregnancy or menopause;
• Women with diabetes are more prone to developing vaginal yeast infections;
• Wanting to clean the vagina too thoroughly with soap can irritate the mucous membranes and increase the risk of yeast infections;
• The vaginal flora can also be disturbed by stray intestinal bacteria. By wiping from front to back, you reduce the chance of bacteria from your gut getting into your vagina;
• Antibiotics can kill certain types of bacteria in the vagina, which can upset the balance and allow fungi to expand;
• But stress, worries or busyness can also have a disruptive effect on the balance of your vaginal flora.

Can a yeast infection go away on its own?

 Can a yeast infection go away on its own?

A vaginal yeast infection can go away on its own. The condition is that you apply good intimate hygiene. It usually takes a few days to weeks for the fungal infection to resolve on its own. But since a fungal infection is very unpleasant, it is often more pleasant to actively treat the infection, so that it is resolved faster.
