A recurring yeast infection (also called recurrent vulvova**nal candidiasis) usually means having 4 or more infections in a year.
It is commonly caused by the overgrowth of a fungus called Candida albicans (though sometimes other Candida species are involved).
Common Causes & Risk Factors for Recurrence:
πΉ Incomplete treatment β If the initial infection is not fully cleared, yeast can regrow.
πΉ Antibiotic use β Antibiotics kill healthy va**nal bacteria (like Lactobacillus) that normally control yeast growth.
πΉ Weakened immune system β Conditions like diabetes, HIV, or immune-suppressing drugs increase the risk.
πΉ High blood sugar β Uncontrolled diabetes provides a favorable environment for yeast growth.
πΉ Hormonal changes β Pregnancy, use of birth control pills, or hormone therapy can trigger recurrences.
πΉ Tight/ non-breathable clothing β Synthetic underwear or tight pants trap moisture and heat, encouraging yeast growth.
πΉ Frequent douching or scented products β These disturb the natural va**nal balance.
πΉ Sexual activity β Though not classified as an STI, s*xual contact can sometimes trigger recurrences in sensitive individuals.
πΉ Diet high in sugar/refined carbs β Yeast thrives on sugar, which may contribute to overgrowth.
π If infections keep recurring, itβs important to see a doctor for testing, because sometimes symptoms may be caused by other conditions (like bacterial vaginosis, STIs, or skin conditions).
