Answers:
A plain yeast infection (average & most common ones) are caused by any number of things, yeast are normally occuring beneficial fungus that reside "down there" & are affected by the pH balance. HOWEVER, they do love dark damp moist areas. Summer months, sweat, moisture, make them more frequent than in winter. Antibiotics will almost always make a woman get a yeast infection as they just make the naturally occuring yeast over grow on amount because it is killing bacteria. Wear cotton lined panties & try to stay dry really helps, not skin tight jeans, you need air down there a little bit. SOME are not yeast & are bacterial infections & OTC cream will not work, need RX from doctor. Some are also sexually transmitted & a partner can be a carrier without even knowing it & your partner needs treated also.

A yeast infection is an overgrowth of the Candidia bacteria either in the vagina, the feet aka athletes foot, the groin area aka jock itch, the intestines aka C-diff, in the mouth aka Thrush, and under skin folds. Normally the good bacteria keep the bad aka yeast bacteria in check but if you get a warm moist enviorment and the right conditions sometimes the yeast will start to grow and take over the good bacteria causing a yeast infection. Think of bread, you use yeast to make it rise and put it in a warm place to rise up. Hope this all makes sense. If you think you have a yeast infection you have to see your doc to get it checked and treated.
