For some women they regularly get vaginal yeast infections after they are prescribed an antibiotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among gynecologists it is generally accepted that antibiotic use can result in vaginal fungal overgrowth, although research proving the extent to which this causes symptomatic vaginitis is scant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Australia they performed a study culturing for yeast colonies before and after antibiotic use. 21% of women had positive tests for yeast before they took the antibiotics, 37% after, showing a rise. Fewer women actually reported feeling uncomfortable or having a clinically significant infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It appears that in some studies the group most likely to get a yeast infection after antibiotic use is aged 36-40 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it appears from other studies cephalosporin antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
