A member asked:

22y/of. monthly vaginal yeast infections. this month hsv2 outbreak also. superinfection? low immune system? how2 treat? ev coconut oil work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See an OB/GYN: This is not necessarily any immune defect. This can happen to totally normal women. For best management, however, a trained experience clinician with good communication skills would be the best person to discuss this with.
