Does Diabetes Cause Yeast Infection?

Other Causes of Yeast Infection

Your vaginal area naturally contains a mixture of bacteria and yeast. The yeast can remain in check for as long as the balance in between the two will not be interrupted. Several things can interfere on this balance and can cause your body to produce a huge amount of yeast. Among these are the following:

  • Birth control pills
  • Antibiotics
  • Hormone Therapy
  • Impaired Immune System
  • Pregnancy
  • Engaging in Sexual Activity

Anyone can develop yeast infection, whether they are sexually active or not. Yeast infection is not considered a sexually transmitted infection.
