Why i did i get a yeast infection after i'm done taking antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The antibiotics: affect the normal balance of good( protective) bacteria.Once out of balance,yeast can proliferate ,not being held in check by the balance of those good bacteria.Some of the good bacteria are killed off by the antibiotic,creating the niche for yeast.
