Medical Conditions
Some medical conditions and health issues would cause a yeast infection. For instance, people with diabetes are often at a higher risk because the high level of sugar in their blood or mucous membranes would create an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive. A weakened immune system caused by HIV/AIDs would affect the ability of the body to fight against the infection as well. If you have an organ transplant or receive cancer treatments, some yeast infections such as invasive candidiasis or thrush would occur. [5]
