I think I have a yeast infection and i'm
going to see a doctor about it. My
question is how does it happen, why does
it happen, and how can I prevent another
one after I get cured. If I have to give
more details let me know.

To decrease your risk of yeast infection,
avoid tight clothing, wear cotton
underpants and practice good hygiene.
Change your underclothes after prolonged
sweating. Bathe or shower daily, and
change into dry clothing promptly after
swimming.
A yeast infection is a natural occurence
& usually happens due to hormonal
reasons as far as I know

Hi there,
yeast is absolutely a normal part of your
vaginal environment (as well as other
types of microbes - don't gross out,
they're not all bad like the latest
mentality is about them). Now yeast
infections occurs when the environment of
the vagina is "off" such as ph change, or
some of the normal bacteria in there that
keep the yeast in check die off (such as
if you're taking a antibiotic), and
several other reasons. Check out the yeast infection
homepage for a bit more in-depth info
on causes, cures and prevention.
