It happens to everyone. It is when the naturally occuring yeast in the vagina overgrow the naturally occuring bacteria (which helps balance out the yeast.) Yeast infections occur more often if you are very sexually active, wipe from back to front, take antibiotics, pregnant, poor immune system, are unclean or just for no reason at all. Hope this was helpful.

There are several things that can cause you to get a yeast infection. Such as change in environment, friction, anti-biotics. Below is a web-site with all the things that can cause one. It also lists home remedy's and medicines that you can buy to alieviate the pain or itching. Yogurt is the best prevention. Being made from yeast it couteracts it. Pretty weird how the body works. Good luck.

well one thing is too much moisture down there, so wear cotton panties if you are having a problem with it, they are better for staying dry.
