Yeast Infection: The yeast infection can cause inflammation of the walls of the vagina causing some of your symptoms.  Try over the counter monistat, and is no relief, consider anti fungal tablets  (fluconazole).  Probiotics also help improve the vaginal balance of flora and recurrence.  Make sure to wear cotton underwear and avoid excessive moisture of vaginal canal as these promote yeast growth.

Accepted Answer

Candida (overgrowth): Candida is the usual cause of yeast infections in a person. Candida is always in or on our bodies, in small amounts that are invisible. Candida lives with us, normally.

Several factors: Several factors can cause chronic yeast infections-
1. Local balance of  normal flora is disrupted, typically from the recent user of antibiotics; 2. Impaired immunity- this may be due to steroid use or having other illnesses such as hiv; 3. Misdiagnosis of symptoms in the absence of yeast from testing- adverse drug effects can be mistaken as a yeast infection. Consult your gyn or id specialist.
