Is it true that taking antibiotics causes vaginal yeast infections in women?
Yes. Multiple reference and clinical sources, including the CDC and a gynecology guideline, list antibiotic use as a risk factor for vaginal yeast infection (vaginal candidiasis), and one reference reports infection in about 30% of women taking oral antibiotics.
