Just been on a course of antibiotics? Then there is a good chance that you can get a yeast infection. Sa-sucks doesn't it? Just as you are clarifying a problem facing another. The reason this happens is that antibiotics are very good at killing bacteria in your body, but they are so efficient that they kill bad bacteria (which is good), but also the good bacteria that can upset the balance in your vagina causing an overgrowth of fungus candida.
The work of "good" bacteria is to keep the yeast fungus in line and to make sure it doesn't get out of control. Take them away and the yeast will multiply faster than a Bunny in a stud farm. So whats a girl to do?
First you need to get your body back into balance. This means that sending more troops into the good bacteria to solve the problem. You can get good bacteria that helps with yeast infections from most probiotics supplements at your pharmacy or grocery store. Even yogurt contains bacteria such as acidophilus and bifidus coupons that will help combat yeast infection caused by taking antibiotics.
Pessaries and creams may also help, especially with the itch, how can those over the counter drugs like Monistat thrush and Difflucan. Just follow the instructions on the package to get the best results.
While these will work in the short term it is necessary to adopt a longer term approach for preventing yeast infections, further strengthening the immune system through a healthy diet and exercise. Women who have a strong immune system rarely get yeast infections as the body is able to fight the problems on it's own without the need for medications. Especially avoiding foods such as sugar (who love eating fungus yeast) and caffeine can help to maintain the body's defenses strong and healthy.
Also make sure to treat your partner at the same time as he could be infected without noticing any symptoms and can infect you whenever you are intimate.
