yeast infections

[awayne08]

i am currently taking birth control and i keep getting yeast infections. is the birth control the cause of the yeast infections? sometimes there is an itch and my discharge is usually white/clear. lately there has been an odor but i don't know how to deal with it. i have also taken monistat several times and it usually works. should i continue? i have one sex partner and we use condoms every time. could the lubrication of the condoms cause yeast infections too?

Yes birth control can cause yeast infections. So can antibiotics. STD's and HIV can cause them too so its a good idea to get tested. A few years ago I was getting them frequently, it seemed like as soon as one cleared up (after using Monistat), I would get another one. I wasn't on the pill or using condoms, but I had a new sexual partner, now my husband. We used a spermicidal birth control that could have been the cause of it. My dr. told me not to worry, that she couldn't find the cause of why I kept getting them but that they would eventually go away for good. And she was right, after almost a year or so I just stopped getting them. Thank goodness! I definitely feel your pain. Good luck!
