Why Yeast
Infections Attack Mostly Women
A
severely
uncomfortable itch, obvious irritation
and redness in the area. These are just a few of
the possible symptoms of a yeast infection. The unbearable
itching caused by yeast infections is one of the reasons people look
all over the place to find a quick, inexpensive solution. From
home made remedies to commercially available medicines, people will try
almost anything to make it go away. But what are the reasons why yeast
infections attacks
mostly women? Let’s get the answer for that question a little
later. First things first.
Candida albicans, that’s the culprit. This microorganism is
always present in damp areas in our body. Initially, when
everything’s normal, Candida does not do anything to us. The
normal balance between good and bad bacteria is usually maintained by
our body. However, triggered by outside stimulus, this balance is
destroyed leaving the organism Candida free to grow and populate. This
overgrowth of microorganisms results in irritation and redness.
Itchiness will of course be among the symptoms of the infection.
Why is a yeast infection more common in women? Even though men get
yeast infections also, there are several factors in women which
increase the risks of being infected. According to some studies, it is
estimated that 25% to 50% of women have in their bodies the
microorganisms that caused the infection. However, due to the presence
of other bacteria, the amount of Candida in specific areas remains
tolerable to the body. It is when this balance of microorganisms
becomes disrupted that causes the excessive growth of the Candida which
is followed by an infection of the affected area.

The cause of the excessive growth of the yeast in that area can be
associated with taking antibiotics. Antibiotics disrupt the presence
of other microorganisms that control the population of Candida.
Women also have a greater risk of being diagnosed with a yeast
infection because of the estrogen level in their bodies. Women who take estrogen-containing birth control pills and those who
are pregnant are more likely to get a yeast infection.
Other
possible causes of yeast infections include detergents, fabric
softeners, feminine and hygiene sprays, and forms of contraceptives
like foams or jellies. Getting older might also trigger the growth of
the bacteria especially if you are already undergoing menopause. In
menopause, the estrogen levels drop which results in the thinning of
the vaginal wall making it more susceptible to different kinds of
organisms which could lead to various infections, including but not
limited to yeast.
