Question about yeast infection and BCPs
| Mon, 06-28-2004 - 1:21pm |
I think I may have a mild yeast infection. Does anybody know if the over the counter drugs (like Monistat) would have any effect on the efficacy of the pill?
Thanks for your input :)

I do tend to have a slightly heavier discharge on the pill I'm currently on (OTC Lo). Do you think this could also be what I'm seeing?

If your discharge doesn't have that characteristic clumpiness or a yeasty (think bread dough) odor, and if it isn't unusually colored (yellow or green) with a foul or fishy odor (bacterial or other types of infections), usually that's okay.
Good luck!
