Yeast Infections
What are the causes of chronic/ recurring vaginal yeast infections?
I've had chronic/ recurring yeast infections for months. The doctor keeps giving me treatments but they usually go away for a few days and then come back. I've heard that you can re-infect yourself. What are some factors that can cause you to re-infect yourself? What are some other causes? I am aware of wearing cotton underwear, keeping clean/dry, not using scented soap, tampons, etc. to prevent them. Are there any other ways to prevent them?
Age?
Sexually active?
What medications have you tried?
A few tricks to avoiding those pesky yeast infections.
Avoid douching as it can throw off your natural vaginal ph.
When bathing try not to wash the vagina internally as it self cleans.
Eat more yogurt as most yogurt contains a active culture.
If you are sexually active you must be fully treated before engaging in sexual activity.
Your partner can actually have a yeast infection too.He may have contracted the yeast infection from you, if so he will need to be treated by a Doctor too. Failure do get him treated will and can cause you to become reinfected.
Has your gynecologist tried prescribing Difulcan?
Generally Difulcan works by taking only one pill. Hope this helps.
