Hi, so for a little over a year now i've had recurring yeast infections. It started as a pretty bad one that was really itchy, then sometime later i seemed to get it again and also a uti. For the first few months i had periods of relief in between the infections, but for the past months its been pretty constant, however there is no itching feeling it just burns and theres the white discharge. I got tested for stds, got a culture which only said yeast but the doctor didnt say anything about it being a drug resistant strain and also a pap smear which i didnt get a call about so im assuming everythings good. But i cant seem to permanently get rid of this yeast infection, has anyone figured out how to get rid of it cause im desperate at this point .

    Hi, you could try extra virgin organic coconut oil, it's supposed to kill Candida Albicans yeast and it would be very safe to use.

      Hi, have you tried essential oil?, if not, you could try Lavender essential oil mixed with coconut oil, 2 drops lavender essential oil to 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, you can put this in ice cube maker put in the refrigerator and make a suppository.

    I too have been struggling for about a year with recurring yeast infections. nothing has cured me yet but I have tried a few other things that help temporarily. but maybe for you they might fix your problem. Boric acid suppositories (look on Amazon for high rated products), tea tree oil soaks, Apple cider vinegar soaks. good luck!
