What are the causes of chronic / vaginal yeast infections recurrent?
I have had chronic and recurrent yeast infections for months. The doctor keeps giving me treatment but usually disappear a few days and then return. I heard that you can be reinfected. What are some factors that can make you reinfect yourself? What are some other reasons? I am aware of wearing cotton underwear, keeping clean / Dry, do not use scented soaps, tampons, etc to prevent them. Are there other ways to prevent them?
Age? Sexually active? What medications have you tried? Some tips to avoid pesky yeast infections. Avoid douching because it can throw off your natural ph of the vagina. When bathing do not try to wash the vagina internally as self clean. Eat more yogurt like most yogurt has an active culture. If you are sexually active should be fully treated before initiating sexual activity. Your partner may have a yeast infection too.He may have contracted the yeast infection from you, if so you need to be treated by a doctor too. If you do not get him treated and can cause you to become reinfected. Have you tried her gynecologist Difulcan prescription? Difulcan usually works by taking only one pill. Hope this helps.
