Antibiotics And Candida?? Please Read!
Posted: 09-27-05 17:46pm

I had my appendix removed in august and since it had burst ( causing an infection to spread), I was kept in the hospital for a week, on heavy antibiotics. In total, I was on antibiotics for nearly 2 weeks. I understand that being on antibiotics can lead yeast infections, etc.. So after seeing two paper-cut like things on the inside of my vagina, I thought that this could be due to heavy antibiotic use, general weakness ( from surgery), diet, etc. Is this something that can be typical of taking antibiotics?
Also, do you know what other signs of having a yeast ( candida, for example) are? Can it , or another yeast cause pimple-like, itchy things on the buttocks? I noticed this as well....
I worried that this might be a symptom of genital herpes...But I have never,every had such symptoms and haven't even had sex for a year and half.
If you have any info. On longterm side-effects of antibiotics or really any comments in general, please, please reply! Thanks
