A member asked:

What is the frequency of a yeast infection after treatment for bacterial vaginosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common: Any antibiotic dose can make yeast worse if it was already there, and sometimes (i hate to admit) us providers were wrong and the discharge was from yeast all along and the BV treatment made it worse.

Dr Fowler and 3 doctors agreed
