Symptoms Of Yeast Infections Sores
Birth Control? Pain During Sex? Yeast Infections?
I started on ortho tricyclen lo when I was 17 (21 now) and I just recently stopped taking it. I had all kinds of odd symptoms. Can someone tell me if it’s normal/if they had similar experiences? What they/the doctor did to rectify them? What form of birth control is best for these symptoms?
1) I would frequently get yeast infections, at first even when I was taking the pill properly and then when I missed pills. I rarely used condoms either. I’m wondering if it could have been the hormones in the pill, my boyfriends ejaculate, or a combination that gave me infections?
2) I would often get sore and sex would hurt very often no matter how much lubrication I produced. It felt like I had sores in the opening of my vagina and artificial lubricants and my boyfriends ejaculate would burn both inside and out. Now that I have stopped birth control pills it hasn’t been burning nearly as badly. What kind of birth control can I use that wont cause this to happen?
I’d be trying a progesterone based pill.
The yeast infections will not normally have anything to do with the pill though.
You can often get them from sex though, best thing to do? Always urinate imediately after sex (flushes out all the ‘foreign goo’), and maintain a RIDICULOUSLY high level of personal hygeine.
In saying that some women are prone to UTI’s due to things such as a shortened Urethra
Good Luck!
