A member asked:
Can wearing thongs for a week or more be a factor of getting a yeast infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The underwear you wear does not cause a yeast infection. Excessive moisture in the vulva, like from excessive sweating, can cause external yeast. A vaginal yeast infection results from a disturbance of the normal vaginal flora.
