Growth of several kinds of parasites and microorganisms on vaginal lips causes the infection. This infection leads to turning the vagina to blue or purple color.

- Weakness of immune system: Weaker immune system means not having the proper ability to fight diseases. For females, when they have a weakened immune system, they are prone to a much higher risk of suffering from Blue Waffles disease. For the same reason, the body is unable to fight the microorganisms and it eventually leads to spreading the contamination to other parts of the body.
- Having unprotected sex: Having unprotected sex is hands down the most important reason causing the disease. Apart from that, sharing or exchanging sex toys, having sex with multiple partners also could be the reason. Moreover, using masturbation toys and any other objects and not maintaining their cleanliness could also cause the disease. Minor scratches and cuts in the vagina during sexual activities including intercourse can also cause it. It’s very important to keep anything used for masturbation spotlessly clean.
- Overgrowth of the good bacteria: Overgrowth of good bacteria and a disturbed balanced between the kinds which grow can cause it as well.
- Improper sanitary habits: The women who tend to be lethargic at maintaining their proper sanitary care are the most prone ones to Blue Waffle Disease. Poor hygiene, dampness of vagina, using same sanitary napkin for over 12 hours, wearing the same panties – these give favorable conditions for the microorganisms to grow. If you tend to do any of these, not only do you provide favorable conditions for microorganisms causing Blue Waffles Disease to grow, but also to a plethora of other such microorganisms.
- Not having a balanced diet: Balanced diet means consuming food which provides all the essential nutrients to the body in proper amounts – carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Consuming food without essential nutrients can deteriorate the immune system leading to the disease. Eating a balance diet with all necessary vitamins and minerals is of the utmost importance to build a strong immune system.
