There are some birth controls that can cause yeast infections. It can happen when starting new or switching brands. If you take meds for a yeast infection and it goes away monitor it to see if it comes back. It may be from your bc pills, if it does not come back, you are ok to continue use, if it does come back, speak with your doctor.

No, stress will not cause a yeast infection.A yeast infection is an overgrowth in yeast, given as we are in the women's health section of this web site I will assume we're talking about vaginal or vulva yeast infections.

Stress will not change your vaginal flora so in turn stress will not cause a yeast infection.
