Why does sitting on heated car seats cause yeast infections?
Sitting on heated car seats does NOT cause yeast infections. Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of a type of fungus called Candida, which is naturally present in the body. Various factors can contribute to the development of yeast infections, such as changes in hormone levels, pregnancy, diabetes, a weakened immune system, certain medications, and tight-fitting clothing that traps moisture and heat.
