Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Symptoms what you are experiencing could be due to recurrence of yeast infection.
This may be due to poor hygiene or due to transmission by asymptomatic partner during sex.
Kindly do the following to overcome the problem what you are facing:
1. Wash the area with warm water and mild antiseptic twice daily until the symptoms subsides.
2. Abstain from sexual activity till your symptoms subside completely.
3. After using the toilet, wipe from front to back to avoid spreading yeast or bacteria from your anus to the vagina or
urinary tract.
4. Wear undergarments that helps keep your genital area dry and doesn't hold in warmth and moisture.
5. Change pads or tampons often during periods.
6. Use vaginal anti-fungal medicines which are available for 1-day, 3-day, and longer courses, depending on the strength of the medicine.
7. Along with it, you can use vaginal boric acid capsules, which are available over-the-counter. Do not use this medication if you are pregnant.
If the infection recurs again and again, the following things needs to be done:
1. Maintenance therapy like a regimen of oral
fluconazole tablets once a week for six months or
clotrimazole as a vaginal suppository used once a week for six months can be used.
2. Treating your partner if your partner has symptoms of a
genital yeast infection (
balanitis).
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
