When Antibiotics Cause Yeast Infections
Does Penicillin usually cause vaginal yeast infections?
I usually get a mild yeast infection when I take antibiotics and I’m about to start Penicillin tonight. I’m dreading it because I’m worried about getting the yeast infection. Anyone have something to say on this?
Oh and I’m 6 months pregnant by the way.
I’m not sure I’d say that antibiotics USUALLY cause vaginal yeast infections. I think I’d prefer to relate that antibiotics CAN or MAY cause yeast infections. That being said, some patients are more prone to getting yeasties than others. Sadly, you sound like you may be “some patients”.
I’d suggest that you eat plenty of active culture yogurt during the course of your penicillin treatment. BTW, why are you going on PCN? Answer privately if you prefer.
