A yeast infection is caused when your body's "bad" bacteria become unbalanced and thus, the catalyst of a yeast infection. Basically, yeast infections occur when there's an overgrowth of fungus or yeast Candida in the vaginal area. Even though you naturally have a small amount of yeast living in the vagina, once it grows out of control is when it becomes a problem. Also women with suppressed immune systems are more prone to yeast infections. If you're taking antibiotics, that also has the potential to cause a yeast infection. The causes of yeast infections vary from person to person, but the above are the most common causes!
