A member asked:
Is it actually true that antibiotics will make my yeast infection worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They may: Yeast infections are due to a fungus called candida which is normally found in the vagina. However, if there is a lack of healthy vaginal bacteria it can lead to overgrowth of yeast. Antibiotics may cause overgrowth of yeast.
