Brief Answer:
Recurrent yeast infection. Follow the advice.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
According to your information, it is suggestive of Recurrent Yeast Infection. One vaginal swab test and drug sensitivity test will be worthwhile.
TREATMENT: 1) Oral anti-fungal medication (Fluconazole) or Vaginal suppository like CLINGEN (combined Clindamycin and Clotrimazole) can be used for 5 to 7 days to eliminate yeast infection. Kindly, consult with doctor for prescription.
2) Use vaginal moisturizer cream like RepHresh pH gel or VAGISIL cream to avoid repeated infection and maintain vaginal pH. Maintain genital hygiene properly.
3) Wear only cotton clothes. Don't wear any tight fitting clothes to avoid repeated friction/ irritation. Take sound sleep adequately.
4) Take healthy diet with anti oxidant (like Vitamin -E or C, Selenium, Zinc etc) supplements. Drink plenty of water or juice for better systemic circulation. You must LIMIT Salty/ Sugary/ Fatty foods.
5) Avoid chemical cosmetics, perfume or scented bath products around genital area. Keep the area mostly dry. You also avoid unprotected sexual intercourse with chemical lubricant until problem is resolved.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Dr S Patra

Dear Dr S.Patra
I am so humbled by your very nice favor as I guess it is going to be so much helpful but could you please estimate the daily dosage of fluconazole and metronidazole, I swear to God that I have visited more than 10 doctors all checked up my vagina but none of them nor the prescriptions of theirs could help in my country so I would appreciate that so much if you could answer me back once more
Sincerely yours
XXXXXXX
