Any Birth Control hormone will change the pH of your vagina to the more alkaline side. Yeast grows in a pH of 5 to 7, while your vagina's natural pH is 3-4.5 ( a little more acidic than coffee). If you have a hormonal IUD, then yes, you may be prone to yeast infections as your pH changes and the yeast gets great conditions to multiply. I would assume that the best way to prevent this would be through maintenance of pH in your vagina. Cranberry juice, yogurt, buttermilk and acidophilus can only take you so far. I would assume there would be some sort of cream or pill out there to maintain your pH, but I have not come across it yet. My gyno is also being utterly useless and keeps feeding me fluconazole, which is hard on the liver and causes yeast to eventually become resistant to it.
