This study investigated the relationships of positive and negative life change to vaginal yeast [Candida] infections in women having a gynaecological examination at a univ. health cent. Negative life change, while not related to the presence of current yeast infections, was positively correlated with the reported number of yeast infections during the past year, concern about these infections and a number of physician visits for yeast infections.
