Ive Had a Yeast Infection For About 3-1/2 Months Now Ive Treated It 4 Times But it Wont Go Away.. HELP!!?

This is my husband's screen name. I had that very problem and battled yeast for a few years. I have a biology degree and did lots of research and switched doctors before resooving this. So here is a lot of advise:

The hormones in birth control pills "feed" yeast.

Your sex partner may harbor yeast in his seminal vesicals (where his seman comes from) and be repeatedly passing it to you.

Cut out the sugar in your diet including artificial sweeteners which "feed" the yeast.

Add 2 cups of white vinegar to your bath water to make your skin more acidic and more difficult for yeast to grow. You won't smell like vinegar, trust me.

Wear white cotton underwear and bleach them, boil them, microwave them wet for 5 minutes, or hang them in the sun to dry. Sunlight kills yeast. Add vinegar to your rinse cycle.

Change your underwear when damp. Change sanitary pads often.

Take extra precaution just before your cycle. As estrogen kicks up in your body, the hormone "feeds" the yeast.

Don't use antibacterial soap, including on your hands. This kills normal bacteria which keeps things in check.

Don't reuse bath towels. Treat them the same as your underwear.

I know this is a lot of stuff, but getting this under control is worth it. With me it is mostly controlling my sugar and sweetener intake. I had a recurrance after the birth of my son when I was breastfeeding (thrush) on my breasts and in his mouth. That is even more difficult to erradicate as milk contains sugars and most thrush medications for infants are sweetened.

Good Luck!
