yeast causes

Antibiotic and steroid use is the most common reason for yeast overgrowth. But pregnancy, menstruation, sperm, diabetes, and birth control pills also can contribute to getting a yeast infection. Yeast infections are more common after menopause.

Almost 15% of people with weakened immune systems develop a systemic illness caused by Candida. These infections enter into the bloodstream through breakdowns or cuts in the skin or mucous membranes. Candidal organisms may build up in an area because of frequent use of strong antibiotics, which kill the bacteria that normally keep it under control.

All the reasons you have specified are undoubtedly some big reasons behind yeast infection, but the biggest reason is change in the hormones. At the time of menopause, most of the women suffer from a big change in their hormones which ultimately results in a big unbalance in the overall body harmony. Due to this reason, most of the women can not adjust and the body starts showing the symptoms of yeast infection. There may be many treatment methods available for it but still prevention is the best option and understanding the symptoms in time will surely make it possible to realize the future threat and cure it before it goes uncontrollable.
