Women and Yeast Infections
Because their hormones constantly fluctuate, females are more susceptible to yeast infections than are males.
During the monthly cycle the levels of estrogen and progesterone fluctuate.At puberty, during pregnancy and at menopause hormone levels change. Oral contraceptives and hormone therapy also create high levels of estrogen and/or progesterone.
This is a main reason why women tend to get yeast infections when they’re pregnant, and also close to their menstruation.
