Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had yeast infections and BV alternating for eight months now. I currently have a yeast infection. I have used monistat, 3 day, 1 day, 7 day. I wear mostly cotton underwear and avoid thongs, I have been avoiding sex, I take asidophilus daily, i use rephresh vaginal wash, but I still have am itchy and uncomfortable. I have been under a lot of stress this year and I m sure that is a factor. Also, I ve had an allergic reaction (swollen lips and hives) to diflucan and can no longer take that. Is there anything I can do or any recommended prescriptions I could ask my gyno about?
