Mild Vaginal Burning sensation for weeks

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi all 23y F with recurrent vaginal thrush. Over the past year i've had recurrent episodes of vaginal thrush that i have used Canesten for. I tested positive for Candida many times . The canesten use to work and sometimes i will take fluconazole , however the candida has come back lately(past 2 months) as a burning sensation with very little itching and does not respond to any medicine. In the past i use to get a severe itching with no discharge. My Gyno said did some swabs and found Candida Glabrata in which i was prescribed boric acid for. I have been using Boric acid for a week now and i can still feel the burning sensation , sometimes worse then others. I've been tested for STD's such as chlamydia, BV, Gonorrhoea & trichomoniasis with all tests being negative. I have had one episode of severe Genital Herpes type 1 , but that has long subsided. The burning sensation comes and goes and sometimes is gone for a few weeks. I'm currently taking probiotics and trying to eat healthy to aid my gut in stopping the Candida. Not sure what to do anymore seems like the weird burning sensation will never stop. Does anyone know of any good remedies for Candida or anything to help with the burning?
