Hello, If you are sexually active, then your partner should also get treated for fungal infection. Avoid multiple sex partners. Poor hygiene may also be responsible for recurrent yeast infection, lack of regular showers, wearing damp-sweaty clothes, damp environment can also lead to yeast infection. Keep your private area dry and wear clothes that are breathable, soft cotton clothes. Sometimes, underlying medical conditions like chlamydia infection, HIV, diabetes, change in hormones, pregnancy, change in immunity, etc., can also cause similar symptoms. You are advised to get blood tests, tests for STD, ELISA for HIV, test for diabetes, hormones, etc., done. At present take care of your hygiene, control your blood sugar level at all costs. If chlamydia is detected you will be treated with antibiotics like Azithromycin, Doxycycline, Amphotericin B etc. For chronic yeast infection, you will be given long-course vaginal therapy and oral therapy if required. Your local doctor will prescribe an antifungal medication and vaginal therapy to be taken daily for up to two weeks, followed by once a week for six months. Take care.
