Stress can lead to the onset of many problems, a yeast infection could certainly be one such result. Of course when using the term "stress", this is not a black or white issue. There are good kinds of stress and bad kinds.
Exercise is an example of a form of good stress. A regular dose of exercise (good stress) can strengthen the immune system and reduce the chances of aquiring an infection. If the condition is severe, you should take some antibiotics or fuyan pill to kill the bacteria.
Emotional distress is an example of bad stress, and can sometimes be chronic (or constant stress for long periods). This may result from exam periods if you are a student, family problems, money troubles, etc. When our bodies are subjected to chronic stress it can weaken our immune system and increase the chances of aquiring an infection.
Our bodies are exposed to all kinds of bacteria, virus' and fungi (yeast) on a daily basis, but our immune systems can prevent them from taking hold and thus prevent them from causing symptoms that we can detect (fever, cough, runny nose, inflamation, etc.). Thus, usually we are blissfully unaware that we are constantly being "invaded" by these microorganisms. When our immune system is compromised, such as when we are under chronic stress, the microorganisms can resist our defenses and cause infection.
It is important to note that stress is not the only thing that can weaken our immune systems. Improper nutrition, lack of exercise, some medications (corticosteroids), some diseases (HIV) can also result in a weakened immune system.
