Causes for Yeast Infections
there are 2 good reasons to learn a bit about the causes of vaginal yeast infections. first, if you have recurring yeast infections, you can figure out what's causing them and then work to prevent them, rather than just working to kill the yeast every time they take over. second, if you know what kinds of things cause you to get yeast infections, you can be alert for symptoms and treat them early on with the generally-milder do-it-yourself remedies, rather than bombarding your body with drugs.
vaginal yeast infections are caused by Candida albicans, which, along with a few types of bacteria, are normally present in relatively small numbers in your crotch. sometimes the yeast multiply rapidly and take over, causing a full-fledged yeast infection, or, in the heart-warming terminology of the medical establishment, candidiasis or monilia. this can be due to a change in the vaginal environment, injury, sexual transmission, or HIV. common environmental disruptions that favor yeast include increased pH, increased heat and moisture, allergic reactions, elevated sugar levels, hormonal fluxes, and reductions in the populations of bacteria that are normally present. these can generally be traced to a few categories of culprits: check out the website

Not sure why "only," but do know from experience that a female dog tries to hump me, a female, -- when I visit her family and spend the night. There are two other dogs, and for a long time she was my favorite. The newest dog is pretty charming, though. Maybe she's also jealous. She jumps up on the bed and pesters my leg. I think it's because I make a big fuss over her when we sit on the sofa together, and she thinks she is literally top dog. Annoying when one would rather be asleep. As with humans, in this case the action is not so much about sex as it is power.

A yeast infection burns when urinating, itches all the time and has a white cottage cheese looking discharge. YOu have to look at yourself in the mirror to see the discharge unless there is a significant amount. It is very uncomfortable and drives you crazy.
