Could be bacteria: It might not be a yeast infection. You could have a bacterial infection. You need a vaginal swab to make the diagnosis and then they can prescribe the right antibiotic. Fluconazole will not work for bacterial infections.

Yeast infections: Have you ever been checked for diabetes? I do not know your health profile but people with diabetes often get recurrent yeast infections. You should see an OB.GYN physician to get some testing done.
