Did Antibiotics Cause My Yeast Infection?

Have you recently completed a course of antibiotic or steroid based medication? If so, this could be the root cause of your yeast infection. More and more people, especially women are suffering from yeast infections that were caused by prescribed medication. To find out more about this, and how to cure your yeast infection read on...

Antibiotics and your immune system... More and more people are using antibiotics to cure minor infections, but have little clue that these types of medication are playing havoc with their immune systems. Taking even the shortest course of antibiotic or steroid based medication can have a catastrophic effect on your immune system, kill the essential bacteria in your gut, and leave you wide open to other more serious infections.

The increased use of antibiotic based medication is causing more and more folks to suffer from painful yeast infections. A yeast overgrowth is far more likely to occur if the immune system is weak, and the good bacteria in the gut has been killed or significantly reduced. Taking antibiotics for just a couple of days can cause both to occur, and before you know it you'll be stuck with a thrush infection that's impossible to get rid of.

The yeast cell overgrowth... Antibiotics will kill off both the good and bad bacteria in your system, and most of the essential bacteria in your gut will be killed or damaged. This good bacteria is what helps to keep the yeast cells from overgrowing, but once they've gone, the yeast are free to grow and spread. Because the antibiotics have weakened your immune system, your body will be helpless, and the yeast cells will be free to overgrow further and spread to other areas of the body.

It's hard to bounce back... Once you've completed your course of antibiotics, it'll take your body weeks, and sometimes even months to re-build your immune system. And, if a yeast infection takes hold, you could end up in serious trouble. A yeast overgrowth will further weaken your immune system, and before you know it, you'll end up catching every bug that's going around, you'll feel tired and run down all the time, and your yeast infection will gradually get worse and worse. Once your body gets into this vicious cycle it's extremely hard to re-build the immune system, and it's practically impossible to cure your yeast infection without changing your diet and lifestyle. Over the counter and prescribed yeast medications won't be able to cure the infection, and many will only make matters much worse.
