There are many possible ways you could have gotten a yeast infection. To start I just wanted to clarify one of the big myths around yeast infections, yes you can get it if you have never had sexual intercourse. Of course direct contact will increase your likelihood of catching a yeast infection, but even indirect exposure to the yeast bacteria such as sharing a towel with someone can give you a yeast infection

Environmental factors play a major role in why people get yeast infections because they weaken the immune system and make it easier for yeast infection to thrive. Factors include secondhand smoke, animal hair, dust, sprays, chemicals and mold. Allergies even are a possible factor. Ultimately, it is a compromised immune system can leads to a yeast infection.

So, let's talk about other ways your immune system can be compromised. Fatigue, stress, a poor diet all pull a negative toll on your body and thus weaken your immune system. By strengthening your diet, getting rid of stressors in your life and sleeping properly you will do wonders for your yeast infection.

The biggest contributors to reoccurring yeast infections without people's knowledge are drugs. The top 3 are antibiotics, birth control pills and believe it or not, doctor prescribed yeast infection drugs! Constantly treating your yeast infection, especially with over the counter drugs will not work. Prescribed medication through a doctor makes the fungus more resistant and harder for your body to fight in the long run. If you have taken any of the 3 drugs in the past few years it is most likely why you have reoccurring yeast infections.

Other reasons include hormone changes, inadequate lubrication during intercourse, increased warmth and moisture in the vaginal area, use of condoms containing spermicide, douching, using perfumed feminine hygiene sprays and soaps, and diabetes.
