It's a fact that your vagina will naturally have a certain level of yeast, but when there's too much it's known as a yeast infection. 4 or more in a year and they are considered to be recurring yeast infections.
This is an issue you need to address by having the proper knowledge which you can then apply effectively. Use the following list of common causes to see if you can make an adjustment in your life to curb the tendency toward infection.
Hormonal Imbalances: Both pregnancy and birth control pills take their toll on your body and send your hormones on a wild ride.
Some women find that switching to a different brand of pill is helpful, but you do need to be off the pill for a few months before you can chart any real change.
Improper Drying: Keep things nice and dry down there by changing your underwear partway through the day (like at lunch time) and be sure to dry off properly after your shower (or bath).
Excessive Sugar In Your Diet: If you eat a lot of sweets- particularly candy and soda/ juice- you're not helping the cause. Too much sugar creates an environment where yeast can thrive more easily.
It should be noted that those with Diabetes, due to fluctuating sugar levels as a condition of the disease, may have higher instance of chronic yeast infections.
Antibiotics and Other Medicines: Antibiotics are another potential problem as they encourage yeast growth. This comes down to your immune system not being able to maintain the balance due to the medicine you're taking.
HIV positive women, owing to their compromised immune systems, also are at risk for chronic yeast infections.
