How do you get a yeast infection?

Answer:

A vaginal yeast infection can be caused by many things, including tight jeans or other non-breathable clothing and underwear because these conditions create a warm moist environment that the yeast thrive in. In general, a yeast infection occurs when your system is out of balance. The balance that exists between the good bacteria and yeast, both necessary in your system, can be tipped either way, causing problems. Too much sugar in the diet and a weakened immune system, as well as a natural tendency towards yeast growth can all contribute to the problem.
