A member asked:

Took 14 dy diflucan. confirmed yi, girly parts still itchy. why? could my mirena iud cause frequent yeast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast infection ?: If you are sexually active with a partner who is not circumcised, one can acquire a "re-infection" , with consequent persistence of the itching. A Mirena IUD will not "cause" frequent yeast infections.
