A member asked:

Can taking antibitoics for a throat infection cause vaginal burning sensation i went to the gyn dr i have no yeast infection or anything?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it can: Antibiotics tend to kill the 'good bacteria' in the vagina allowing yeast to grow.

Dr Al-Alami agreed
