Yeast Infection Causes

What causes Vaginal Infection?

 

Vaginal infection  is due to many causes .

  • Yeast infection may refers to vaginal inflammation that’s due to chemical irritants or allergies. Spermicides, douches, detergents, fabric softeners, and latex condoms can all irritate the vaginal wall . Finally, some sanitary napkins can cause irritation to the vagina.
  • Atrophic vaginitis may occur with menopause. This yeast infection is caused by the decrease in hormone (estrogen) levels that cause thinning of the vaginal wall. The vagina is more prone to irritation.
  • Vaginal yeast infection is caused by infection with bacteria or yeasts. Trichomoniasis is a type of infection that is spread through unprotected sex with an infected partner . Other types of vaginal infections occur when a woman has an abnormal (called fistula) connecting the intestine to the vagina. This conduit allows stool to infect the vagina .
  • Bacterial vaginosis may be explained by an imbalance between normally occurring bacteria that protect the vagina and one hand, and bacteria can be infectious ones. Having multiple partners can cause a bacterial imbalance. Infectious bacteria and trichomoniasis are often sexually transmitted.
  • Yeast infections (which cause vulvovaginitis by Candida)  may occur during an antibiotic when your levels of estrogen is high (eg during pregnancy), if you have uncontrolled diabetes or if your immune system depressed. You’ll also be more susceptible to vaginal yeast infections if you are under stress from a poor diet, lack of sleep or illness, or if you are taking oral contraceptives.

Babies may also have inflammation and vaginal discharge for a few weeks after childbirth due to exposure to estrogen from the mother just before birth.

 

Risk Factors for Yeast Infection

  • Fatigue and lack of sleep  
  • The use of antibiotics because they destroy the natural bacterial flora of the vagina. 
  • Oral Contraception
  • Wearing underwear synthetic fabrics that create a moist environment conducive to the proliferation of the yeast
  • The consumption of foods high in sugar.  
  • Treatment with estrogen.

Infectious vaginitis occurs frequently and can cause symptoms very bothersome. Fortunately, available treatments are very effective and inexpensive. When we see the symptoms of vaginitis, it is strongly recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor may then make a more accurate diagnosis of the type of vaginitis
