Series: Birth Control Pills cause Candida – Part 5 of 6
Birth control pills work by introducing extra hormones into a woman’s system. Most birth control pills contain both estrogen and progesterone; these hormones work on the reproductive system in such a way that an egg is not produced during the month. As estrogen is a candida feeder, the extra hormones in the birth control pills may cause candida to overgrow. Although I do not feel that birth control pills create a lot of candida at one time, they can cause candida to overgrow slowly because you are taking the pills month after month, year after year. This cumulative affect is what will get you in the end.
However, it is possible to fight candida while on birth control! Because it causes a relatively slow growth of candida, you can get on top of the candida overgrowth by doing a cleanse and then staying on maintenance doses of probiotics once you have the candida under control.
