Yeast infection can be a persistent condition, as many of us have
experienced. If your symptoms recur again and again even after they
have been treated successfully, it could be that the infection never
went away in the first place. It was - and possibly is - always there,
waiting for an appropriate time to strike again. When the right
conditions come up, the infection rears its head again, with all those
symptoms we'd rather not have.

That's why it is so important to get at the roots of the problem.
Obviously, that's not always easy, especially when most treatments aim
to contain symptoms instead of bringing about a comprehensive cure. My
blog has more information on some of these things, and if you would
like to check it out, I would certainly suggest it:

Lowered immunity is the biggest cause of yeast infections. This could
be because you are too run down with not enough rest and an excessive
workload. It could also be the result of other illnesses that have
lowered your immunity - possibly even HIV, which causes AIDS. Yeast
infections can also result from other illnesses less serious than
AIDS, significant changes in diet, inadequate nutrition, hormonal
changes from pregnancy and more.
