What Causes Thrush?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Stress
If you are overworked, and/or you have a lot of other problems in your life, then you are likely to be feeling quite stressed. It is important to try and manage your stress levels where you can because otherwise it can make you really quite ill. Too much stress can also increase the likelihood of thrush developing.
Excess stress can have a negative impact on the immune system, and a strong immune system will help keep infections like thrush at bay. Thus, an infection becomes more likely to take hold. If you are finding it difficult to manage your stress levels then you should try and speak with a professional.
