What Are the Causes of Frequent Yeast Infections?
Vaginal yeast infections occur when good bacteria, or the bacteria that aid in digestion and help to control yeast, are disturbed, resulting an overgrowth of yeast. They most often produce a thick white vaginal discharge, burning and itching. Yeast infections usually occur in a woman’s vagina, but they can also grow in other parts of the body. The website EverydayHealth.com states the approximately 75 percent of women will develop at least one yeast infection during their lives and nearly 50 percent of all women will experience reoccurring yeast infections.
