Has any one every thought their birth control was the cause of chronic bacterial vaginal infections? I have been unfortunately getting a bacterial vaginal infection for over 18 months EVERY SINGLE month! It has been horrible. It's taking a toll on my marriage, on me emotionally, and physically, mentally, and financially. Any advice, similar experiences would be appreciated. Thanks ladies.

Welcome to ehealth!
Yes, its possible your birth control is making your vaginal lining more vulnerable to infections due to a slight hormonal imbalance.

Speak with a doctor and tell them your symptoms. You may need to change pills, but at least the infections would go away.

I agree with Maddie. According to their website one of the side effects of Seasonique, and some other forms of birth control, is vaginal itching or discharge.
