YAZ birth control? What is wrong?

Question

I've been taking YAZ birth control for abour three months now. I noticed that I have increase vaginal dryness, and recently, s*x has started to become painful. The pain varies in severity from day to day, but it involved a burning/stinging sensation when certain parts are exposed to friction. The pain eventually subsides after a few minutes. I can't figure out the cause of the sudden pain during intercourse, but I've read about vaginitis and the connection low dose birth control pills may have with the condition.

Answer 1

Sound like vaginitis from almost any other cause. The dose of estrogen in Yaz is not that low to cause the problem. It is possibly an infection or overgrowth of bacteria. See your GYN.
