Yeast infections are known by several names including candida, monilia, and thrush. They are very common in women, but can also infect men. There are several main causes that cause most yeast infections in men and women. Fortunately, there are effective, natural ways to treat them.

The underlying cause of a yeast infection in men (or women) is an overgrowth of candida. Candida are single celled microbes that are round in many parts of the body. When a body is healthy, there is balance and a little bit of candida is no problem. A yeast infection occurs when there is an abnormally high amount of candida.
