Yeast Infection
From Antibiotics
By
Yvonne Easton
Did you know that
you can get a yeast
infection from antibiotics?
Yes, it's true.
If you have been suffering from the pain and
embarrassment of a yeast fungal infection, whether
it is a female (vaginal), male (penile), oral
(thrush) or skin - they all have the same thing in
common. Excessive yeast levels in the body. While
there are many underlying reasons why your yeast
levels are out of control, have you considered that
it is because you have been prescribed an
antibiotic? This article will discuss the
relationship between a yeast candida infection and
an antibiotic prescription.
To begin with -
it is important to understand that everyone -
men, women and children all
have yeast in their body.
Yeast, at its
normal levels coexist with other bacteria that exist
in the human body and bloodstream. When you take an
antibiotic to kill a bacterial infection, what
happens is that the antibiotic does a great job
(usually) at killing the 'bad bacteria', however it
doesn't discriminate between good and bad - so once
the antibiotic has done its job - both good and bad
bacteria is killed. This is how one can get a yeast
infection from antibiotics.
Most people who
take antibiotics do not come down with symptoms of a
yeast infection. Those who are at risk are people
who have compromised immune systems whose fungus and
bacteria levels are already out of sync. For others
who get candida as a result
of a prescription
- it is important
to discuss with your doctor what you might be able
to do while taking the antibiotic to keep yeast
levels in check. You might want to consume less
sugar as excessive sugar levels in the body also
contribute to yeast outbreaks. In addition, eating
plain, unsugared yogurt can also help to maintain
proper yeast levels. Just doing these two things
while taking an antibiotic may actually prevent
getting a yeast infection from antibiotics. You may
also find that the infection is mild and can be
treated with natural, topical treatments such as tea
tree oil and apple cider vinegar remedies.
