Estrogen cream: This is often prescribed to women who are having vaginal dryness and irritation with intercourse. Do not know why your gyn gave you this, but they must have had a rationale. Call and ask them.

Good day! I have been suffering from candida or yeast-infection for years now. I have been to a Gynecologist who put me on a six months treatment but that did not solve the problem. When i was younger the vagina cream and antibiotics would work fine.
