Lar's right. Any imbalance of any sort can cause it, since all those things are present all the time. It's just a question of degree. One of the biggest causes is antibiotics which kills the good bacteria that keeps the yeast from taking over. Diabetics with high blood sugar can get yeast infections in all sorts of places. Just think of using sugar water in a warm place to activate yeast for bread.
The OTC prescriptions are pretty good, tho I prefer the pill. No mess or bother.
