Pregnant or on Birth Control

Women who are pregnant or using birth control are at an increased risk of yeast infections.6‘Vaginal Candidiasis.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 10 Nov. 2020, www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/candidiasis/genital/index.html If a specific birth control is causing repeat infections, an individual may want to speak with their doctor about trying a different one.
