Hello doctor,
I am taking oral and vaginal medicine to treat vaginitis. I used it for about 3 days then I got my period. I want to take birth control pills every day. Doctor, can I ask if I am being treated for vaginitis, can I take oral contraceptives every day? I do not know which type has less side effects and do not know if daily oral contraceptives affect the treatment of vaginitis? I thank you doctor.

Answered by Specialist Doctor I Huynh Cong Tan - Deputy Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Vinmec Danang International Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Can you take daily birth control if you are being treated for vaginitis? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Daily oral contraceptives usually contain estrogen and progesterone (these are two female sex hormones), which have the effect of preventing ovulation, thickening the cervical mucous membrane, preventing ovulation. Prevents sperm from swimming towards the uterus to fertilize, changing the uterine wall not suitable for egg implantation, thus preventing pregnancy.
Safe daily birth control pills, with few side effects, are blister packs that combine estrogen and progesterone.
You take oral contraceptives every day does not affect the treatment of vaginitis, so you can use it with peace of mind. You can visit an obstetrician-gynecologist for specific advice.
If you still have questions about the treatment of vaginitis, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
