Is it OK to use tampons if I have yeast infection? This question often arises with my customers. Although the opinions of medical specialists on this question may differ, there is a lot of information to suggest that there is a negative association between using tampons and this particular problem. Many popular medical articles even put the blame on tampons as being the cause of yeast infections.

Studies done recently in medicine indicate that there’s a connection between the appearance of a medical problem known as the yeast infection or candidiasis, and the intake of antibiotics. So many of my clients want to know if yeast infections really are caused by the intake of antibiotics. To answer such a question requires going much further. You should note that hidden causes of yeast infection include many complex factors and are not just the simple result of antibiotics.

Women who have had a yeast infection that seems to go on forever know that it can be extremely annoying, not to mention uncomfortable. You finally think it’s gone, and then it’s back with a vengeance. Even if you take the medications your doctor gives you, wear the right clothes, and even keep yourself extremely clean, there are some of these infections that just seem to hold on forever.
