Yeast Infection Causes and Consequences
All of us would like to prevent from contracting yeast infection. In order to prevent something from happening we would first need to know what causes it. So here is a list of common potential causes of yeast infection men or women.
Anybody with weakened immune system:
- Cancer treatment - now this is not to say that you should not get treatment when you have cancer. It simply means most cancer treatment drains your immune system therefore increasing your risk of contracting yeast infection.
- Taking steroids - again avoid taking these unless there is very good reason, it has the effect of weakening your immune system.
- AIDS - OK I guess this one really destroys the immune system.
In these cases, yeast infections can begin to happen all over the body and be potentially fatal. Frequently candida affects the blood, brain, heart, kidney and eye. Candida yeasts can also grow in the spleen, lungs and liver.
It is estimated up to 15% of people with weakened immune system develop illness caused by candida yeasts. Infections can enter the body through cuts on the skins.
People taking strong antibiotics are at risk of contracting yeast infection. Antibiotics kill “good” bacteria that keeps candida yeast under control.
Drug addicts using dirty needles risk injecting candida yeast directly into their bloodstream. Devices implanted in skin can provide access for candida yeast to enter the body.
Other cause contributors are:
- pregnancy
- menstruation
- sperm
- diabetes
- birth control pills
- type of laundry detergent used
- wearing damped underwear
- stress… the evil cause of many illnesses
