Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if you are diagnosed with yeast infection also known as Thrush you need to take anti fungal medications for resolution..
As you are using premerin that contains conjugated Oestrogen, it is a side effect of Premerin..
Other causes of same problem there can be a number of reasons like diabetes, intake of certain medications like antibiotics, steroids,pregnancy and poor immunity..
I would suggest you to consult a Gynaecologist and get evaluated and she can do a vaginal swab culture for confirmation..
She can advise you to take antifungal creams like Clotrimazole, antiungal pesseries and can give oral antifungals like Fluconazole that has to be take continuously for 3 weeks..
You can also be advised alternate medications by withdrawing Premerin.
Eat more of Yoghurt in diet as it is a probiotic and help in clearing fungus..
Maintain a good hygiene..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
