A member asked:
What causes recurring yeast infections? i've had so far 6. i've taken antibiotics before. did it make my immune system weak where yeast is resistant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but: Antibiotic kills off the normal bacteria in the bowel giving the yeast a window to take over and migrate to the vaginal area. Antibiotic usually does not affect your immune system. It just alters it. However recurrent yeast infection may be caused by a lot of things and for this you need to consult your GYN>
