Types Of Birth Control Pills That Aren’t Known To Give Yeast Infections?

I’m using Yaz right now, and it’s only my first month, but I’ve had this ridiculous yeast infection for about two weeks.
When I go in for my check up, I’m thinking about asking to use another type of birth control, but I don’t know what kind to ask for.
Any suggestions?

    Hi! I’m aware that birth control pills can cause yeast infections as a side effect. Also, do you happen to be using an antibiotic of any sort? This could also cause yeast infections. I agree that you should ask your doctor for the right decision for changing birth control. I don’t know why the folks who previously answered your question would tell you that it is not a side effect (and in such a way to belittle you), but here are some links to a few legitimate websites that you can refer to:
    1. http://www.womenshealth.gov/faq/vaginal-yeast-infections.cfm
    2. http://www.fwhc.org/health/yeast.htm
    3. http://www.epigee.org/guide/yeast.html
    I hope this helps and good luck!

    Birth control DOES NOT cause yeast infections. You have a yeast infection just because you have a yeast infection. Don’t go looking for causes.

    Just tell the doctor you have a yeast infection and need another birth control pill, that is the doctors job to know.
