A few women have an increase in yeast infections when on the pill; changing to a pill with a different hormone profile can help. Women who were using condoms before starting the pill may notice an increase in infections related to semen in the vagina, which can change the vaginal pH and make bacterial vaginosis more likely. Also, if your partner has an infection and neither of you has been tested and treated, it could cause recurrent problems.
