Can birth control give you yeast infections?


I get yeast infections alot, & i've been on the pill for about a year. I never had one before the pill...is this a contributing factor?

It actually can put women at higher risk for yeast infections. I will provide a link to show you:

Not that I know of, but if you changed your choice of fabric of undies you're wearing, that could be the problem. If you're not wearing cotton underwear, you can get yeast infections since synthetic fabric (polyester) doesn't breathe well. Maybe you should go to the doctor and check it out?

I remember reading somewhere (but keep in mind I don't know where the somewhere was) that it can contribute to more yeast infections.

It depends on the type of pill you're taking, it should include a leaflet telling you potential side effects.

Not as far as I know!
