Can a yeast infection be caused by the antibiotic cream prescribed for bacterial vaginal infections?

I seem to have had a yeast infection three days to take my medicine for my bacterial infection of the vagina. What should I do? Continue to address antibiotic gel until it is gone, and then get yeast infection medicine? Is this normal? Help.

    Unfortunately, antibiotics, while killing off malevolent bacteria, also kill off the good bacteria that your body needs to fight off such things as candida, the organism that causes yeast infections.

    Since you are using a local antibiotic, it is possible that once you finish your course of antibiotic, your body will once again regain the ability to fight off the candida, but it’s not likely. Creams and other OTC medications may mask the problem for a while, but a holistic treatment may be the answer you’re looking for.

    Antibiotics are the main reason why women or men get yeast infection. However, you must use it until finish than try to get rid of yeast infection. Next time when you take antibiotics try to eat live bacteria yogurt and probiotics.
