WHAT CAUSES CANDIDIASIS :

(1) Broad-Spectrum Antibiotics –

Sometimes, antibiotics are needed to fight a stubborn infection to kill the trouble causing bacteria in your body.
The problem with antibiotics and with overusing them (often creating antibiotic resistance) is that they don’t just kill the bad
bacteria, they kill the good bacteria too. After a long course of antibiotic or even multiple courses over a short period of time, antibiotics can make your body a perfect breeding ground for candida which causes candidiasis.

(2) Birth Control Pills –

Unlike antibiotics, birth control pills on and off, do not directly cause a yeast infection. But, when a woman consumes a diet high in refined sugars and has had a course of antibiotics, birth control pills can adversely affect her body, leading to candidiasis.

(3) Oral Corticosteroids –

Patients of asthma and are taking corticosteroid inhalants have increased risk of developing candida in the mouth, leading to systemic candida overgrowth.

(4) Diabetes –

Patients who are having Type 1 Or Type 2 diabetes, it is seen that sugar levels in the mouth and other mucous membranes are traditionally higher than the individual without diabetes. Since candida is a type of yeast and yeast feeds on sugar, it is understandable that diabetes patients are at a greater risk of developing candidiasis.

People who have weak immune system are more likely to have candidiasis. Ex: Infants, Small Children, Elderly People Or Patients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and other inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
