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.
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that yeast infection has no relation with birth control pills. Many women's are taking it but not all women is having yeast infection. There must be some other underlying condition favoring yeast infection. I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
