Taking Diflucan when you don’t need it is not something you should even be considering to do. Taking anti fungal drugs when you don’t have a yeast infection will actually cause a yeast infection. These drugs, whether oral; or cream based are not a preventative for yeast infections. They are only to be used when you have an infection, and should only be used under the guidance of a doctor.
Resistant yeast infections
Resistant yeast infections are on the increase because more women now use anti fungal creams and pills when they don’t have a yeast infection. They also use them when they want. and don’t seek the guidance of their doctor. This means they are used for the incorrect amount of time, and in the wrong dosage.
Yeast is in you all the time
The Candida yeast that causes a yeast infection lives in your body all the time. The reason why you start suffering from an infection is because the yeast is allowed to mutate into a fungus that starts feeding on your body. You have a natural flora in your body that is balanced, and this keeps the yeast under control and in a harmless state.
WHen you start using Diflucan when you don’t need it you force the yeast to mutate. It does this as a natural defense that all of these organisms have. So you’ll end up creating an infection, and it will be a drug resistant yeast infection because that is what has created the infection. You won’t be able to use the drug that has caused the infection to cure it, so you’ll have to go to your doctor for a more powerful prescription anti fungal drug.
