Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
If the pregnancy test is negative, it means that you are not pregnant. The reason for milk secretion from the breast can be due to increased hormone level of Prolactin. So it needs to be checked.
The reason for recurrent candida infection are repeated use of antibiotics, diabetes, infection with candida species not responding to routine antifungal treatment and reduced immunity. Anyway diabetes has been ruled out in your case
You will need to take treatment for longer period. Discuss with your doctor and take antifungal treatment for six months. Take vitamin C to improve immunity. Take protein rich diet. Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
