I can understand your feeling of helplessness. What does your physician say about your history of recurring vaginal yeast infections?
About five percent of women get four or more vaginal yeast infections in one year. This is called recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. It is more common in women with diabetes or weakened immune systems. Physicians most often treat this conditon with antifungal medication for up to six months.
Have you tried any lifestyle remedies to prevent vaginal yeast infections. Some tips include:
•Avoid douches
•Avoid scented hygiene products like bubble bath, sprays, pads, and tampons
•Change tampons and pads often during your period
•Avoid tight underwear or clothes made of synthetic fibers
•Wear cotton underwear and pantyhose with a cotton crotch
•Change out of wet swimsuits and exercise clothes as soon as you can
•Avoid hot tubs and very hot baths
