Antifungal: U can decrease your sugar intake but the antibiotics increase the risk of vaginal yeast infections because the normal bacteria in the vagina are also killed by bacteria.Yeast are part of the normal organisms in the vagina.A balance of organisms keep the yeast from overgrowing and causing infections.If that balance is upset,the yeast can grow.Things like repHresh that help maintain the pH can help
