A member asked:
Why does hypothyroidism cause canida (yeast) overgrowth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It doesn't: Hi. Correlation does not establish cause-and-effect. Having hypothyroidism ( a fairly common condition) and a yeast infection (another fairly common condition) is nothing more than a coincidental correlation, not a cause-and-effect relationship. Treat BOTH! Good luck!
