It is caused when certain internal or external factors change the normal environment of the vagina and trigger an overgrowth of microscopic fungi called Candida albicans. These are the most likely fungi to cause yeast infections as well as infections in other moist areas of the body, such as the mouth (thrush), skin folds and fingernail beds.
