Bacterial Vaginois And Birth Control Pills Posted: 07-19-04 17:45pm


About 3 months ago I was diagnosed with a yeast infection and then a bacterial infection. Since then the bacterial infection has not gone away completely it keeps coming back. I've switched birth control pills I was on ortho tri cyclen lo but it was causing vaginal tears because there was not enough estrogen in it I have been on ovcon which has a higher estrogen level I am on my 2nd pack however the infection will not stay away just when I think it is gone it comes back. Thanks to this website i've learned that bc pills could cause that in some women. If I decide to go off the pill to see if that is the cause how long is it going to take to go away and how many prescriptions of antibiotics should I expect to take. This has been driving me nuts and even depressing me, thankfully I have a boyfriend who has stood by me even though weeks of no sex, but it is killing me not knowing what is going on with my body. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I kmow what you're going through.I went through a period of 6 months of alternating with yeast/bv.Clear one up and get the other.I finally went on a yeast free diet and took diflucan(anti-yeast medication)for 2 weeks.That cleared up the candidiasis.One more course of flagyl and I was much better.My doc did not recommend going off pill at that time,but I did switch pills.I have to be very careful whenever I am on antibiotics.I almost always get bv after taking them.No one can tell me why i'm so susceptable.I know that bv is very frustrating,not to mention painful!I wish I could be of more help.Hope you find relief soon!!Patty

I had constant yeast infections for months (almost a year) while on bc pills.. Although I never had bv. The doc had me on anti-fungal meds for several months in a row, including diflucan, and it wouldn't go away. The only thing that got rid of it was to go off the pill and go on the depo provera shot. The difference is there is no estrogen in the shot. My doc said some women can react to the estrogen by getting chronic yeast infections and such. I have been on the shot for 7 months now and haven't had an infection since.
