other birth control problems
|

Something else that has tendencies to cause recurring yeast infection is the birth control that you are taking. I was taking ortho tri cyclen lo for about eight months. I was getting so sick of going to different doctors trying to figure out why I kept getting yeast infections, bv, and utis. I would also get cuts all over my vaginal and butt crack. After switching to a different gyno, he told me that some women have bad reaction to their birth control. I switched from otc lo to yaz. I just started to new pill so I can't say for sure whether or not it is better but since I've been off otc lo, I've been feeling so much better. No more cuts, and no more yeast infections so far. The doctor said he may take me off the pill completely if they do come back and I will just have to switch to a different method of birth control.
I also read somewhere that taking a multivitamin everyday (one that has 100% daily value of zinc) like One-A-Day Womens, can help regulate your body and prevent certain occurences. I guess good hygiene and following the same routine every time is the best answer. I think I have another uti right now but that may be because I was starting to take less precautions since I was feeling better. For women like us, who have these problems, we can't let our guard down once the problem is solved. If something works for you, keep doing it even if you no longer have symptoms. Take down a journal everyday of activity and symptoms. You'll start to find patterns. I get really upset sometimes because none of my friends are having these problems but women everywhere are even if the ones you know aren't.
Thanks for all of the previous info, hope this contributes, and DON'T GIVE UP!!! These are problems we can beat
