Can Plab B cause Vaginal Dryness for a year?

I have been to 2 different doctors and it seems that if its not the 1st thing they think of than they don't care. I haven't told my doctor that I think it may be linked to Plan B because it just dawned on me that that’s about the time it all started. I have had extreme vaginal dryness and lots of white discharge for a little over a year now. I don't know if there could be a link. But I have been treated for yeast infections, tested for std's(even though I've only had one partner),and several other tests. And I'm just getting tired of not having answers cause I'm only 19 I've got to enjoy sex like twice before I took Plan B and I don't ever feel like having sex with my boyfriend cause I know its going to hurt even when we use lube it goes away after a wile. I'm very irritated.

Hmmm... your dryness could be caused by a hormone imbalance. It could have been caused by the Plan B pill (which kinda messes with your hormones to begin with)... I think that you need to see another doctor and tell them because you are right at your age I can't even imagine having that problem. Are you sure that you are staying hydrated? That might have something to do with it too. I think if they did a hormone panel on you they might find something that is a little off that would cause it. Are you on any type of birth control? That can also call hormonal changes that could effect it too. I hope that you can find the answers you are looking for.
