Antibiotics used to treat other types of infections change the normal balance between organisms in the vagina by decreasing the number of protective bacteria.  Being pregnant, having diabetes, or being obese all create conditions that help yeast grow more easily.
The follow risk factors have been implicated in the development of [[candidia]] [[vulvovaginitis]]:
