Vaginal Yeast Infections

What increases the chances of getting a yeast infection?
•Use of antibiotics- they decrease the amount of Lactobacillus in the va**na. This is the good bacteria that prevents overgrowth of candida.
•Pregnancy- There's is an increase in the oestrogen hormone levels which causes an imbalance between the yeast and bacteria in the va**na resulting in yeast infections.
•Weakened immune system from chronic illnesses such as HIV and cancer.
•Scented sanitary towels and va**nal deodorants causes pH imbalance triggering candida overgrowth.
