How long does the yeast infection last when u start on birth control and u get it?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
