Will Antibiotics Make My Yeast Infection Worse?

I treated a yeast infection three days ago but now need to take antibiotics. If I do will the yeast infection get worse? The symptoms are mostly gone.

  1. Since yeast infections are fungal (candida albicans), not bacterial, and our body’s “friendly” bacteria tend to keep the yeast under control, I would say that a course of antibiotics will most likely make it worse.

  2. that’s a definite YES. and just for your info yeast is naturally present in everyone’s bodies, but when it grows out of proportion that’s when you get yeast infections (and many diseases and conditions brought on by that). but the good news is that you can actually control the amount of yeast that grows in your body by avoiding certain foods.
    i really recommend these books:http://genitalmagazine.com/men/ "

  3. Well all I can tell you is what happens to me…..Everytime I pick up a bottle of antibiotics at the pharmacy I go ahead and buy yeast infection medicine at the same time.
    So, if you are like me, yes it probably will come back. Sorry

  4. yes it can make it worse try taking some activa yogurt.

  5. Yeah it certainly will. I know that this is probably a little bit weird but I found the best cure for a yeast infection. Buy some tea tree essential oil, put it on a tampon. A generous amount… then insert it into your vagina. It will burn just like the monistat kits, but this works better then those. I had a problem while on antibiotics. The tea tree oil worked better then anything else. Repeat the process for 1-2 days, and symptoms will clear up. They might actually clear up right away, but can come back if the process is not repeated. Also get a probiotic from a health food store, it is the good bacteria, and will help clear uo the yeast infection. I also started buying DanActive, it has the active cultures like in the probiotic. Good luck.

    It can. Antibiotics alter the PH in your vagina, making you more prone to yeast infections. Some women who have a lot of trouble with yeast infections just start the monistat that same day as they start any antibiotics and continue until the antibiotics are done.
