With the large rise in antibiotic use during labor and birth (c-section/ group b strep) I am seeing a corresponding rise in yeast infections in mom and baby. I know many doctors will prescribe fluconazole with concurrent antibiotic use in women prone to vaginal yeast infections but I am not seeing this done for women after birth. Is anyone using a dose of fluconazole after antibiotic use as a yeast preventative? Any studies on the effectiveness of this as a treatment? I am familiar with the use of fluconazole prophylacticly with AIDS patients but am looking specifically for postpartum use. Thanks!
