Can UTI Antibiotics Cause A Yeast Infection?

[Gregory Howard]

Many women wonder if UTI antibiotics can cause a yeast
infection.  And they definitely can, but believe it or not...you
HAVE to have yeast in your body.!
Yeast really is a Requisite Fungus! 
Yes, you truly read that correctly. Yeast is essential for our bodies,
and is always present in a modest concentration. However, too much of
this fungus will result in an infection. It is important to understand
what causes a yeast infection so you can avoid this dreadful condition
in the future.
Close Down Yeast's Habitat
Yeast lives in warm, damp areas of the body. If you really want
to cut your chances of getting a yeast infection, you should make
sure you always wear clean, dry underwear. Fitted panties made of
synthetic fabrics are the out-and-out worst option if you want to
avoid yeast infections. Instead, wear cotton; it breathes much better.
You should wear clean panties each day.
Ladies who do not control their diabetes well enough are more likely
to get this condition. This is directly linked to the sugar in the
urine. Even if you don't have diabetes, it is a good idea to trim back
on your sugar consumption.
Scented toilet paper, tampons, and women's vaginal deodorant sprays
can also be the cause of  yeast infections. After exercise or
swimming, it is a good idea to change out of the wet or sweaty
clothing.
Don't Kill the Yeast-Fighters
This is the catchy part. If you take antibiotics for a different kind
of infection, you will kill not only the bad bacteria, but the
bacteria that would ordinarily get rid of much of the yeast. If you
use some kids of soap, such as the antibacterial kind, you may be
stamping out these "good" germs in your quest to deodorize. Never use
soap on your vaginal area; the dyes and perfumes can truly mess up
your pH balance and hurt the sensitive tissues. Clothing soaps can
cause the same kind of problem, so select your laundry soap with care.
Do not use douche bags, as they get rid of the good bacteria. Every
time you take antibiotics or antibacterial deodorants, you are making
way for yeast to overcome and cause an infection.
Other Causes
HIV can also allow yeast infections to occur because it weakens the
immune system. If a woman's vagina is hurt, a yeast infection may
follow. Taking steroids can also raise your risk of getting this
irritating condition.
A woman who has required chemotherapy can also get a yeast infection.
Immunosuppressive drugs are sometimes useful, but they will contribute
to your chances of getting a yeast infection. Drugs that belong to the
cortisone family will likewise put you at a greater risk of getting a
yeast infection.
Women who are pregnant or having their period are likewise more likely
to get a yeast infection than they are at other times. Whether you don
pads or tampons during your period, you should switch them frequently.
Stress and sickness can also have a pronounced impact on your odds of
getting this infection.
While some of the factors that can cause a yeast infection cannot be
prevented, many of them can be wiped out or lowered.
