Yeast is a fungus, it grows naturally in our bodies cavities, like the vagina. When the bacteria which is also an inhabitant of our vaginas and keeps the yeast in check, dies or becomes decreased in number the yeast grows too much and then you develop symptoms of a yeast infection. Douching can cause this, as can a course of antibiotics, as can sexual intercourse with a new partner who's own bacteria wipes out your normal bacteria.(over time with the same partner the bacteria adjusts to your body and then there is no problem) Swimming in a chlorinated pool can also cause this, or using a hottub.

Answer 4

Yeast is a fungus. It naturally occurs in the body. Some conditions are ideal for fungus to grow out of control and that it what is referred to as an infection. A moist dark environment for an extended period of time or repeatedly over time allow the fungus to grow and cause an infection. Some common infections are athlete's foot, yellowed toenails, gynecologic infection, thrush (mouth and throat), and sever diaper rash. The medications for all of these have the same active ingredients. Read the label.

Answer 5

your vagina automatically produces yeast. it's part of the normal bacteria that helps to keep the bad bacteria at bay. sometimes a chemical imbalance in your body (like not enough of a vitamin or too much of a mineral...ect) can cause an over production of yeast. all a yeast infection is, is an overproduction of yeast. no big deal. usually you can call your doc and they'll call you in medicine or you can buy cream over the counter. eating yogurt is supposed to help prevent them. applying PLAIN yogurt if you can't get to the store for the yeast infection cream can help with the itching (it might sound strange but it works.)
