Suggest Remedy For Persistent Yeast Infection In The Vaginal Area

Posted on Fri, 6 Nov 2015

Question: I get a yeast infection at least twice a month - and without exception every single time when my boyfriend ejaculates in me. It is getting extremely bothersome and none of the doctors I seen seem overly worried. I try to take Flukovim, but I wonder if there is any better solutions to this because it's affecting not only my life by being uncomfortable but also our intimate life. Not to mention we are trying to have a baby but we can only have sex once before I am down with an infection for 10-15 days.

Brief Answer:
Both partners need treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
The most probable source of fungal (yeast) infection that you have been getting is your partner. In case you have multiple partners that can be the cause.
So you and your partner both needs to be treated simultaneously.
I would advice in such case Fluconazole tablets to both the partners simultaneously.
The tablet can be repeated after a week.
In case this fails we would need to investigate that the discharge is fungal infection or some other bacterial infection.
Also I would advice you both to use Clotrimazole dusting powder on daily basis.
Keep the area clean and dry and always use 100% cotton undergarments.
In case your blood sugar has never been tested then get it tested.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
