Compared with men, women are more at risk of developing yeast infection. Studies show that 75 percent (3 out of 4) women will develop this kind of infection at one point in their lives. The symptoms associated with this are very unbearable. Because of that, many women look for natural treatments to immediately cure their yeast infection.

In general, the fungus candida albicans is the main cause of yeast infection in the vagina. Candida albicans is normally found in the private parts of women. However, if the fungus grows beyond the normal levels, it then leads to infection.

Other factors that contribute to this infection include diabetes, pregnancy, use of oral contraceptives or birth pills, antibiotics, and steroids. Moreover, women at their menopausal age experience this more because of the declining estrogen levels in the body.
