A member asked:
Should i get off my birth control for a little while if i'm having trouble getting rid of a yeast infection?

Probably not: If you are using oral contraceptives for birth control, it is better to continue them every day unless you have a serious adverse reaction. There are a number of effective treatments for yeast. Sometimes the first method you try may not be effective. Check with your doctor if you aren't sure what to try next.
