Suggest Remedy For Frequent Yeast Infections

I have been getting frequent yeast infections after my chemo ended after a full hysterectomy due to ovarian cancer. It is the weekend, so I will have to reach my doctor on Monday. What can a person do for frequent yeast infections that are treated and then come back?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are having a symptoms suggestive of fungal infection and it is more common in the genitals, as they are the normal comensals of this area which will be kept under control by helpful organisms.

Whenever there is a imbalance in the environment it will produces its symptoms.

I would suggest you to follow below mentioned measures.
1.Keep the are clean and dry
2.Topical application of anti fungal cream like Ketcanozole cream
3.Oral single dose of Tab Diflucan, 150 mg.
4.Oral anti histamines.
