How to Prevent Yeast Infections

Candida yeast is a natural microorganism found in the vagina. A form of bacteria called Lactobacillus is responsible for keeping yeast growth in check.

Occasionally, a hormonal imbalance may prevent the bacterium from working effectively. If vaginal yeast multiplies too quickly it is likely to cause a vaginal yeast infection.

A specific strain called Candida albicans is the most common cause of yeast infections and in general, a yeast infection is easy to treat.

However, recurring yeast infections or those that fail to respond to conventional treatment may be caused by a different candida strain. Visit the doctor and ask for a lab test to clarify the type of candida infection.

Some women are already aware of the root cause of the infection; for instance, a course of antibiotics can lead to a yeast infection. Learn to recognize the risks to help you prevent further yeast infections:
