For self evaluation, if you are going thorough your first yeast infection or you have had several occasions of yeast infection that you are struggling with, then you are likely also thinking about some of the causes of a yeast infection. Whether you are experiencing some of these infections like itching or burning from an oral, skin, vaginal, or penile yeast infection, the key cause is typically one and the same. In this article, we’ll look at some of the common causes of a yeast infection.
A yeast infection is typically caused by candida albicans. Candida albicans is a kind of yeast fungus developing naturally within the body. It can be located in areas of the mouth, digestive tract, and stomach. Candida albicans has an important and useful function in the digestive process. This fungus essentially is used by your body to process essential nutrients; in the appropriate levels it is actually very helpful and important.
But, when the candida albicans population goes up too much than the other “good bacteria” in your body system you will start to experience some problems. So the question is what causes an overgrowth of candida albicans?
candida albicans develops under certain environments. It favors sugary contents, so those people with high levels of blood sugar content because of sugars in the diet, or diabetes, have a greater tendency to develop candida albicans and flourish. But that’s not all. Having an immune system that is not strong also adds to candida overgrowths because your body is not able to resist. Moreover, this allows the candida to go out of control.
Common Causes of Yeast Infections Explained:
Sugar Content: Having plenty of sugar and yeast in your system is not good and unhealthy and this will cause high candida levels. When yeast mixes with sugar, it is able to increase and multiply even faster. Those with high blood sugar levels will have greater risk of developing a candida yeast infection. While this is a common issue for diabetics, you may be pre-diabetic and is oblivious of this if you are facing issues with recurring yeast.
Consuming Antibiotics: When you are prescribed antibiotics to help remove a viral infection, your medicine operates by destroying all bacteria, and this includes both the bad and good bacteria. This is good because you get rid of the ‘bad’ bacteria quickly. On the other hand, killing ‘good’ bacteria’ can have negative impact as well. This bacteria maintains yeast levels in your body in good balance. Destroying these, yeasts level goes up and you will be at higher risk for a yeast infection.
Having Unprotected Sex: Engaging in unprotected sex with your partner while they are going through an active vaginal or penile yeast infection would have effects that you are likely to be infected and contracted as well. It is best suggested that partners make use of protection until after the infection is confirmed to have cleared up – usually this takes about a few weeks. Research and statistics have analyzed that uncircumcised men are at a bigger risk of contracting a yeast infection from a female partner with excessive vaginal yeast.
The good news is that if you have a yeast infection, there are a couple of ways to treat it, which includes natural at-home remedies, over the counter treatments, and prescription medicines from your family physician or doctor. You should conduct some research to check out the best methods which works for you.
