in april i had my 1st yeast infection & several more since. i had my iud removed 6 days ago because it was misplaced. could this have been the reason? pid ruled out, i'm not pregnant & no diabetes. std tests negative. what else could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Causes unknown: Having an IUD is not a likely cause of recurrent or persistent yeast infections. Except for diabetes, usually no particular cause is known. Assuming the diagnosis of yeast has been confirmed, speak with your doctor about periodic (e.g. weekly) fluconazole (Diflucan®) to stay ahead of the problem.

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic use?: Just to make sure we are on same page - are you sure it's yeast - was it seen under microscope?
If so - have you taken antibiotics for other causes? If so, that might predispose you to it because the vaginal flora has been changed.
Another thing is there are some yeast that are more resistant to antifungals - have you been on only one type or multiple?
