Yeast Infection, Chronic And Recurring Condition. On Diflucan, Acidophilus Medication. Causes For Vaginal Discharge?

Thanks for posting your query.
Having treatment for vaginal discharge multiple times without being relieved of discharge is distressing. Bacterial vaginosis is usually associated with super added fungal infections and if not treated vigorously is notorious for recurrence. A common reason of recurrent infections is simultaneous improper treatment of the partner which keeps on reinfecting the female partner repeatedly.
Mild amount of vaginal discharge is a normal finding. You need to have a vaginal swab culture sensitivity to find out the type of infection you are having and will help in determining the antibiotic which will be most suitable for your infection.
Sometimes it needs vigorous treatment with oral antifungal agents.You need to take antifungal drugs orally along with antibacterial agent in order to treat any super added infection that might have been present.
Fluconazole and azithromycin are considered as considerably effective drugs. You can consult your gynaecologist for selecting the best drug for you after proper examination and vaginal swab culture.
The recurrence of infection in your case is most likely due to the incomplete treatment. The local anti fungal creams are not sufficient for full cure.
