Yeast always present: Yeast is present and every individual in the colon. At your age there are certain types of bacteria present in the vaginal region with the ph of the vaginal mucosa being approximately five. That low ph prevents overgrowth of more common bacteria that can infect the urinary track. Common antibiotics may eliminate that normal vaginal bacteria and lead to overgrowth of yeast in the vaginal region.
