Yeast infections (also known as candidiasis or thrush) are extremely common today in men, women, and especially those with immature or compromised immune systems. A yeast infection is triggered by the yeast organism Candida albicans, which lives in abundance naturally in the vagina and mouth. Candida albicans can also live to a lesser extent in the skin and bowel. There only begins to be a problem when there is an overgrowth of it, causing thrush - more commonly known as a yeast infection. Thrush can take many forms, the most common of which are oral and vaginal. It is very common in babies and it often develops in the diaper area.

The body’s immune system can be compromised by pollution, the overuse of drugs, poor diet, injury, surgery, or sickness causing an environment that allows the candida to flourish, which results in thrush. Other causes of a yeast infection include antibiotics, immuno-suppressive drugs, hormonal changes, menstruation, and stress. Factors that can aggravate and worsen thrush include poor personal hygiene, scented bath oils, high sugar intake, intercourse, and tight clothing.
