Yeast Infections Birth Control Pills
Birth control and yeast infections..?
So for the past 9 months, I have been getting a yeast infection almost every month without fail, usually right before my period. I’m on tri-cyclen lo, which has pills with three different hormones. I know that there is a correlation between birth control pills and yeast infections, but I really like tri-cyclen lo (minus the yeast). Is there any other pills that don’t have different hormones/won’t cause yeast infections?
You’d have to ask your doctor about the pills and the hormone differences…. but here’s some things to try for the Yeast infections:
Consider going on a yeast-free diet, no sugar (as sugar feeds yeast), no alcohol – so no cakes, candy, sweets, etc.
*Take Lots of acidophilus/probiotics or eat Unsweetened Yogurt
*Avoid tight jeans and other tight trousers
*Wear cotton underwear during the day
*Wear no underwear to bed
Here’s some things to try. I’ve tired the first two and know they work:
1. Put a tsp of apple cider vinegar in a 6-8 ounce glass of water and drink it 2-3 times a day.
2. Mix a tsp of Hydrogen Peroxide in a cup of water and pour over the area.
3. Fill a bathtub with just enough warm, not hot, water to create a sitz bath (enough water to cover your groin and just up to your belly). Add 2 cups of raw apple cider vinegar and sit in the bath with your knees folded toward your body (not stretched out flat). You can stay in this bath mixture for 15 minutes. Gently pat dry and make sure you are very dry before putting any clothes on. Wear only cotton underpants, preferably washed in natural unscented detergent.
