Hello Dr.Andrew, I am suffering from Yeast infection for past two years. Doctors treated me with suppository and Diflucon. But still every month I am getting this Painful infection. Cottage cheese comes out Everymonth before periods and after periods. My husband has no infection even after intercourse. Thanks, Charlot
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. You should get a pelvic examination by a gynecologist and vaginal swab to rule out the causative agent of infection. If yeast infection it can be treated with proper therapy. First line treatment used is clotrimazole cream (monist at) application. It should be used for 1 week or more according the recommendation of your gynecologist. Fluconazole (rifleman) is usually given weekly once for 1 month or more. Other alternatives are used in case of resistant cases also. You can also use intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH and there by prevent getting such infections. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
