Hi,

Sharing toilet could be one of the reason for repeated vaginal infection. Taking medications for arthritis doesn't seem to correlate with the repeated infections what you are experiencing.

Since it is not subsiding completely upon taking medications, it would be advisable to undertake vaginal swab culture and sensitivity test. This would tell the nature of organisms and medications they are sensitive to.

Kindly consult Obstetrician with the laboratory report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
