Most studies show that there is no relationship between yeast infections and birth control, but many women claim otherwise.
First of all, are you sexually active? If so, your partner may need to be treated to avoid repeat contamination. You don't want to be passing the yeast infection back and forth.
Also, make sure that you're taking steps to avoid future yeast infections.
Here are some things you can do to help prevent another yeast infection:
Don't wear tight-fitting clothes
Wear cotton underwear
Don't wear pantyhose or leotards every day
Wipe from front to back after using the toilet to prevent the spread of bacteria
Change out of wet swimsuits or other damp clothes as soon as you can.
Don't douche or use feminine hygiene sprays, deodorant sanitary pads or tampons, or bubble bath, and avoid using colored or perfumed toilet paper.
