Question 1

will taking the azo brand yeast pills to prevent and treat yeast infections interfere with my birth control like antibiotics sometimes do?

Accepted Answer

No: No, and by the way, antibiotics do not decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills, with some very rare exceptions of medications mostly used to treat tb.

Question 2

will azo yeast infection prevention tablets interfere w/ a combination birth control pill? they contain small amounts of mistletoe and boneset herbs.

Accepted Answer

Not likely: It is not likely that that this would interfere with your birth control.

Question 3

would taking azo yeast, oral homeopathic medicine to prevent/relieve symptoms of yeast infections, decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

No but : That is not likely to hurt your birth control but also not likely to prevent recurrences of yeast

Question 4

i am 20 years old my last period took 4 pregnanc test said negative i been cramping all month did had a yeast infection took azo the yeast infection is gone how can  get my period ? i am not on birth  control but i did take the morning after pill after ha

Accepted Answer

The : The Plan B likely interfered with your body's normal hormonal balance. It may take up to three months after taking it to get a period. However a blood pregnancy test is not a bad idea at this point. Otherwise, if your period does not come in the next month see your doctor. He/she can prescribe a pill that can induce a period, and then a birth control pill can be started to stabilize your period and prevent pregnancy.
Take care.

Question 5

if i am 19 weeks pregnant and have a yeast infection is it okay to take azo yeast plus? will this harm my baby or cause any bitrth defects?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: I assume that you will be treating the infection intra-vaginally.  None of the azo will get to your developing baby.  You are also beyond the critical period during which drugs might have an effect.

Question 6

can birth control increase chances of a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

No : It does not work that way.

Question 7

hi :) can starting birth control cause a yeast infection? thanks :)

Accepted Answer

That : That is a good question.  Yes, you can start birth control during a yeast infection.  I assume you are under treatment and it is safe to take the treatment at the same time.  Remember to use a condom for the first two months as you could still be ovulating, and use a condom if there is a new partner or concern for infection.

Question 8

how long does the yeast infection last when u start on birth control and u get it?

Accepted Answer

Not a cause: Starting birth control doesn't cause a yeast infection. Try an over the counter treatment if you have the symptoms of a yeast infection. If it doesn't go away,  see your provider.

Question 9

i have been on birth control for 16 years ever since i got off of it i seem to have an yeast infection often.should i go back on birth control?

Accepted Answer

I would: Because it controls menses and hormone levels, and the vagina is sensitive to hormones, and you noticed the change after stopping, it wouldn't b a bad idea.  Your increased risk of a problem due to the pill is low and may help improve the symptoms.

Question 10

i had sex with a girl that was on potent birth control. she had a terrible musky odor, then i started to have the same smell. yeast or something else?

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: The bad odor may signal an infection. Best for both partners to get tested for sexually transmitted disease  STD). Using condoms can help protect you from STD's.
