Wearing tight underwear causes yeast infections in women.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that wearing tight underwear causes yeast infections in women?

Partly. One clinical source states that the wrong kind of underwear can cause yeast infections, and a Nigerian study links air-tight underwear to trichomoniasis rather than yeast infection. A prevention-focused review and a candidiasis guideline instead list other triggers and recommend breathable cotton underwear, so the evidence only partly addresses whether tightness specifically causes yeast infections.
