Does cilest pill cause pelvic infection?

I began to get thrush very badly to the point the itching was excruciating. I would then get water infections which twice led to developing kidney infections. Before this pill I had only ever had cystitis and thrush once or twice and they weren't that bad and would go away quickly. On this pill, I was in a constant state of having thrush, a water infection, both. It was horrendous to the point I could barely leave the house. Nothing worked to treat it until I found Optibac probiotics for women which would keep them at bay somewhat but the only thing that really helped was stopping taking this pill and taking these probiotics. I cannot explain the impact this had on my life and the pain caused by having these conditions chronically.

I was on this pill for nearly 10 years and as a result, I couldn't tell what was a side effect any more! Overall, I have always been very happy with it.

Why, why, why has this been discontinued. This was a really good pill for me. Good mood, light periods, never gained or lost weight, clear skin... The list goes on! The only thing that I found was when I came off it (after 9 years) I noticed my sex drive was a little higher so it must have been decreased whilst on Cilest. But saying that, I've always had a healthy and regular sex life so I think it only decreased it a tiny amount, not enough to notice in 9 years anyway! Now I'm really struggling trying all these other pills, each for SIX MONTHS AT A TIME (Dr's recommendation) and experiencing at least one problem with each of them. Spotting, depression, weight gain, acne. The other forms of contraception just don't sound right for me but I might have to start trying them as well.
