OB-GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) Questions Birth Control Pills

Are Seasonique birth control pills and cystitis related?

I'm 29, and I've been taking Seasonique birth controls for a couple of months. I haven't had any problems with them so far. However, I recently was diagnosed with cystitis after having pain urinating. Are Seasonique birth control pills and cystitis related?

The only correlation would be if you're having more intercourse (which increases risk of cystitis) now that you're on birth control.
No. Birth control pills are not associated with cystitis.
Not at all. UTI has nothing to do with Seasonique birth control. Do not worry, you should continue taking Seasonique.
No, hormones and urinary tract infection are unrelated.
