What Is Thrush?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Stress
Stress is really very common among people. It is basically a sense of heightened awareness that is a result of certain hormones being released in higher than usual volumes. It can be beneficial in that it keeps us alert when necessary, but it is certainly without its drawbacks.
Ideally, stress should only be temporary, and prolonged periods of stress can be very problematic indeed. It can lead to potentially severe mental and physical health problems, and it can also weaken the immune system. A weakened immune system can mean that somebody that is stressed is more likely to develop thrush.
