Causes

The type of yeast that causes these infections is not the same yeast - found in food products and alcoholic beverages. The bacterial infection is caused by Candida Albicans (Candidiasis or thrush is a fungal infection (mycosis) of any of the Candida species, of which Candida albicans is the most common. Candidiasis encompasses infections that range from superficial, such as oral thrush and vaginitis, to systemic and potentially life-threatening diseases.), a type of yeast, which naturally grows in the body. Most of the time the yeast is kept in check but it can easily overgrow when it is disturbed by anything that will interfere with its normal environment such as - a recent course of antibiotics or birth control pills. Women with diabetes are also more prone to an overgrowth in yeast and most likely to suffer with recurrent infections. Other things that triggers an overgrowth in yeast would be: sitting around for long periods in wet swimsuits and even feminine products can irritate the vaginal area (soaps, deodorants, etc) and upset the vaginal flora causing yeast to overgrow.
