Welcome to HCM
I have read and understand your query
I hope this will be useful
I would prescribe my patients who have such chronic persistent vaginal thrush,an oral antifungal once weekly for atleast 6 months to completely cure the thrush.As in your case you are having the thrush for 6 months which has not relieved with bouts of antifungal pessaries and tablets.i would suggest you take a fluconazole 150 mg once weekly for atleast 6 months.You will be good in no time
I hope this would help you.you can reach me anytime with any other query
