Virginal Yeast Infection.

When i was growing up i really thought that Virginal yeast infection was sexually transmitted and when i was in high school people said that it was because of lack of proper virginal hygiene.

Virginal yeast infection is totally a normal thing and one shouldn’t be ashamed of it because of the misconceptions.

In the vagina their is a bacteria called lactobacillus .lactobacillus ssp and Candida albicans coexist in the vagina.lactobacillus prevent the overgrowth of Candida albicans.The overgrowth of Candida albicans result to yeast infection.When their is an imbalance of the lactobacillus ssp their is overgrowth of the candida.

Therefore yeast infections results because of the following reasons mostly:

1.Sweat -sweat creates a moist environment which is favorable condition for the growth of the candida.Its advisable if you sweat alot you change your underpants twice a day.

2.Douching and hot water-This kills the bacteria giving the candida an opportunity to overgrow.

3.Antibiotics- They kill the bacteria hence the candida is free to overgrow

4.Tight pants- Tight pants prevent proper aeration resulting to sweat.

Other factors which can lead to yeast infection:Heavy menstrual bleeding, pregnancy, wet underpants,birth control and hormal imbalance.

So when you get a virginal yeast infection check on the factor which has lead to it and get informed.
