A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
