Can a morning-after pill cause a yeast infection?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• There are two possibilities in your case scenario:

1. Morning-after pill-induced vaginal dryness and irritation. As this is a hormone, it can cause these symptoms. But these symptoms are transient and should disappear within a week.
2. Sexually transmitted candida infection from your partner.

• I would suggest you the following:

1. Take tablet Fluconazole 200 mg one tablet and repeat it after seven days. The same tablet should also be taken by your partner.
2. Tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg once daily for five days.
3. Avoid the morning pill as much as possible.

I hope it helps you. If you have any further queries, please ask me.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• From my clinical experience in my practice, I personally feel that local application creams, when used alone, do not work well.

• You should take tablet Fluconazole along as discussed. And, the simultaneous application of cream may be helpful.

I hope it helps you. If you have any further queries please ask me.
