Could Recurring Yeast Infection Be Due To Birth Control Pills?
Hi I ve had a yeast jnfection for almost 2 weeks. Uncontrollable itching burning and irritation. Very uncomfortable. This has been my second yeast infection. My last one was in January and I used monistat 7 to treat it. This time however I had to go to the doctor to relieve my symptoms he have me difluncan. After 3 days on the medication it still hasn t cleared up so I went onto monistat 7 again. I am on birth control pill sprintec generic for ortho tricyclen. I believe it s the birth control pills causing this yeast infection making it not go away. Once I finish my birth control percription I plan to get off of it. Do you think my reoccurring yeast infections are because of the birth control pills? My yeast infection as of now comes and goes but I m tired of it. Even monistat isn t working anymore.

Many women's are taking it but not every women is having yeast infection. There must be some other underlying condition favouring yeast infection.
