Do Birth Control Pills have any effect on BV symptoms?

I quit taking my birth control pills in about September after reading that birth control seems to contribute to causing BV by upsetting your bodies natural chemistry and that taking them for 10 years plus makes you more susceptible to BV and CAndida problems.

Unfortunately, not taking them makes you susceptible to pregnancy. I've talked with my boyfriend and decided to start taking them again. It didn't make any difference whatsoever to healing my BV when I stopped taking them and I have been off of them for 8 months now. If it hasn't helped by now i don't think it's going to. I'm curious to see if it has any effect on the symptoms though. I believe they have gradually improved since that time but whether that is because I stopped taking BC pills or because I started using alternative remedies instead of downing antibiotics like candy, I'm not sure.
