∙ 9y agoYes, soap is a common cause of yeast infections.
The vagina has an acidic pH which kills 'bad' bacteria and helps 'good' bacteria thrive - these 'good' bacteria help to prevent yeast overgrowth. Soap can't tell the difference between good and bad bacteria so kills it all, it also changes vaginal pH to make the vaginal environment less favorable to the 'good' bacteria and thus more favorable to yeast. The vagina is self-cleaning, all you need do to stay clean is wash your vulva daily with water only.
