A yeast infection is caused by a fungus; however, there are many contributing factors as to why you get a yeast infection.  Taking antibiotics is one.  When you take an antibiotic, it kills off the bad bacteria that it is intended to, but, it will also kill the good bacteria that your body must have to stay healthy.  Thus, a yeast infection can occur.

Another contributing factor is moisture.  Bacteria thrive in moisture so when there is added moisture, from hotter temperatures outside, or wearing tight fitting clothing, you are giving the bacteria a place to live.  Wearing cotton panties and loose fitting clothing will help to reduce your chances of getting yeast infections.

All natural yeast infection treatment options are available which will allow you to not only get rid of the symptoms that you have, but will also take care of the underlying problem that started the yeast infection to begin with.  It will help balance your good and bad bacteria and get you on the road to recovery.
