Can birth control pills cause BV (bacterial vaginosis)?
I was diagnosed with BV about a month ago and was prescribed Flagyl. They don’t know what it was from. I was having sex with this guy I was dating, but the doctor told me it is not a transmitted infection but you can get it from having multiple sex partners. I noticed I got BV a few days after my period last month. I again finished my period about 4 days ago and I am smelling a bad odor "down there", and I feel it’s BV again. (I have not had sex since before my last BV a month ago) Could BC pills cause this? I was on YAZ for 1.5 yeas and my pharmacy just switched to the generic brand (Gianvi) and it’s changing my moods and everything completely- I was wondering if it could be the pill causing BV?

Nobody on here will be able to answer your question correctly. Ask a doctor. Every women reacts different to every kind of birth control pill.
