A member asked:

Never had candida til after taking doxycycline before hsg test now candida infection is reoccurring been treated once & it's back normal? what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Glad you are normal: The yeast is always there but proliferates when the bacteria are suppressed by doxycycline. One or 2 oral doses of fluconazole reduce the yeast. Manipulation of the genital area and birth canal may cause irritation. Anyway it is now "back to normal" so you can relax.
