Hello all!

I was diagnosed with a yeast infection by my doctor almost two years ago, and it still has not gone away. I also suffer from a condition called Vaginismus, so I experience pain from involuntary muscle contractions down there at every doctors visit. I have been to multiple doctors appointments, cut out almost all sugar in my diet (except for the occasional cheat day haha), tried monistat, The Magic Eraser, Boric Acid, tea tree oil, I took and apple cider vinegar bath, ph balancing washes, vitamins, you name it!

Every new treatment I try alleviates my symptoms for a few days, or sometimes a few hours, and then it just comes back. My doctor is at a loss, I am running out of ideas. I need help. I am so desperate!

    Antibiotics. You could try inflammatory creams and gels also. When its related to discharge that you can see its worth washing very carefully and very thorough. If it discharge that comes from the inside then its good to get tablets.
