Yeast Infection Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
Cause #3: Other Causes
There are many other causes that can lead to a yeast infection. Anything that result in the disruption of balance between bacteria and yeast or hormone levels can result in a yeast infection. For example, some women who are taking birth control pills or undergoing hormone therapy may experience yeast infection.
The changes in the hormones estrogen and progesterone such as in women who are pregnant, or breastfeeding can lead to a yeast infection. Other causes include individuals who are using inhaled corticosteroids, have dentures and are immunocompromised, and babies who do not have their diapers changed often enough.
