Will taking metronidazol (for bacterial vaginosis) cause me to develop a yeast infection?

I recently started having sex, which I think prompted my first ever problem down there. I went to the gyno for the first time and I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. My doctor gave me the antibiotic metronidazol to clear it up. However, the more I look into it, it sounds like taking the antibiotic can cause a yeast infection. Is this just other types of antibiotics? Or am I likely to get a yeast infection now?

Taking an antibiotic can cause a yeast infection because it can sometimes kill the good bacteria with the bad. It’s not something certain that is going to happen. I’ve taken many antibiotics over the years and have never ended up with a yeast infection because of them. Just take the antibiotic your doc gave you for the infection, and if you develop a yeast infection, call the doctor back. You need to kill the bad bacteria, and then you can worry about getting your body back into balance through medication for yeast infections.
it is after you see doctor and you still having sex,if so it will not cure,you have to stop for few month.try it
