Who do women get yeast infections from antibiotics?

what causes this to happen ?

The human body contains bacteria that's good and bad. An antibiotic attacks both indiscriminately. When the level of good bacteria drops, a yeast infection develops.

Some doctors are thoughtful enough to suggest you eat yogurt while taking an antibiotic to keep the healthy levels of bacteria (you know, all that talk about probiotics in the news?) up.

The source below discusses other causes of yeast infections and how to manage and prevent them.

because the antibiotics kill all the good and bad bacteria in your body, including the bacteria that eats the yeast. so your body gets an overabundance of it, as its main predator has been killed by the medicine.

men can also get yeast infections too but in other areas of the body.
