What Causes Recurring Yeast Infections?
Hello, I keep getting yeast infections. Nothing seems to help prevent or treat them. I have tried monostat , boric acid suppositories, probiotics,a cream that my gym gave me, none of this seems to help. My symptoms include itching ,burning, redness ,swelling,white discharge, pain during intercourse and urination. Please help! I am so tired of getting this it interferes with everything!

Hi welcome to health care magic...

Than if fungal infection confirmed local clotrimazole prescribed along with oral fluconazole....
Rule put diabetes also by RBS.... As in diabetes reccurent fungal infection can occur...
If report suggest bacterial vaginosis than metronidazol given
Take care
