Can a very bad yeast infection cause capsular contracture?

AmayaRoninVega
Recently on antibiotics (amoxicillin). Got a HORRIBLE yeasty beasty! Diflucan twice. Caused lower back pain and my chest muscles to be sore and very, very tender (possible candida die-off??). Is it possible for the candida to spread to my implants and cause contracture? I'm concerned because I've heard that the candida and its byproducts can travel through the bloodstream and affect other parts of the body. Unders, 6 months ago. Thank you for any replies - very respectfully :)
