Following treatment can help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

According to your given information, you are currently suffering from RECURRENT vaginal yeast infection. Following treatment can help in this case:

TREATMENT: 1) Vaginal suppository (combined Clindamycin and Clotrimazole) can be used for 5 to 7 days to eliminate yeast infection. Kindly, consult with your doctor for prescription.

2) Use vaginal moisturizer cream like RepHresh pH gel or VAGISIL cream to avoid repeated infection and maintain vaginal pH. Maintain genital hygiene properly.

3) Wear only cotton clothes. Don't wear any tight fitting clothes to avoid repeated friction/ irritation. Take sound sleep adequately.

4) Take healthy diet with anti oxidant (like Vitamin -E or C, Selenium, Zinc etc) supplements. Drink plenty of water or juice for better systemic circulation. You must LIMIT Salty/ Sugary/ Fatty foods.

5) Avoid chemical cosmetics, perfume or scented bath products around genital area. Keep the area mostly dry. You also avoid unprotected sexual intercourse with chemical lubricant until problem is resolved.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

According to your information, above clinical features are quite persistent in spite of two different medical therapy. Therefore, it may be chronic or recurrent type of infection. In that case, one drug sensitivity test will be worthwhile.

Hope, I have answered your query. You can close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

All the best and good luck.
