Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The fungus are the normal comensals of the female genitals. These fungus are kept under control by the helpful bacteria, whenever there is an imbalance in the genital environment it will leads to multiplication of the fungus and produces the symptoms.
Many condition which alters the genital environment will leads to frequent
fungal infection.
Recurrent yeast infection is common with inadequate doses. If any one of the partner has any predisposing factor for fungal infection like
diabetes mellitus, prolonged antibiotic therapy, Metranidazole,
steroids, some other immunosuppressive drugs like cancer drugs or
hormone therapy (oral contraceptives) etc., then it has to be controlled or corrected or removed as far as possible to get a total cure.
If there is candidal infection in any other parts of body like skin, gut, nail it may also be a source of reinfection and the same has to be treated.
Flucanazole 150 mg weekly once for not less than 4 weeks along with topical
clotrimazole cream or vaginal pessary ensures the cure.
Application of Clotrimazole topical cream an additional measure to ensure a complete cure. Abstinence from sex during the course of treatment.
I would suggest you to have good hygiene practices and to use a suitable antifungal drug.
Thank you.
