Suggest Remedy For Yeast Infection, BV And Weight Gain

I was on Depo provera in 2002, I gained 15 pounds and decided to stop. Early 2003, I started getting BV and yeast infections. To this day, I'm still plagued with this horrible issue. I've been researching and I believe the shot is the root cause. How do I get back to normal?

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Bacterial vaginosis is caused by gardnerella vaginalis and mobiluncus bacteria. These can be effectively treated by metronidazole. Coming to yeast infection this can be controlled by local application of antifungal creams.
I suggest to get in touch with a skin doctor nearby you and get a prescription for the same.
Hormonal therapy does cause weight gain. Weight can be managed only by regular exercise and healthy diet.
Please maintain personal hygiene to prevent recurrence of infection.

Thanks.
