Stress Can Be a Cause of Vaginal Yeast Infection

By Lizbeth Reynolds Platinum Quality Author

Research has proven that stress can be a cause of vaginal yeast infection. Stress like all of the other causes of yeast infections such as pregnancy, HIV or diabetes is only a contributing factor to the disease and not a direct cause of the Candida yeast problem.

Candida yeast albicans are normally present in the vagina. When the acidity of the vagina is altered by stress, antibiotics, steroids, etc the vagina is no longer able to control the yeast population. When this happens the yeast already present or newly introduced yeast grows rapidly and infects tissues which causes irritation, swelling and a host of other symptoms resulting in a yeast infection.

Stress has many negative effects on a womans health and well being. Having an unhealthy amount of stress can cause many of the bodies systems to function incorrectly . Studies have shown that stress can hamper and otherwise cause a negative effect on a womans immune system, which can in turn boost your chances of developing a yeast infection problem.

Stress, as with all the other things that can increase your risks of having a vaginal yeast affliction should be controlled if at all possible.
