You : You need a full evaluation by your physician to determine whether you truly have a yeast (candida) infection or something else is happening. Six months is too long to be affected by this and could be leading to bigger problems. Over the counter medications are not always effective in treating candida infections. You may require a combination of topical and parental (oral) medications to eliminate the infection.

Intestinal candiida: You almost certainly have chronic yeast overgrowth in your intestines, a common problem, so treating vaginal yeast is just the tip of the iceberg. This is treated with a low starch diet, probiotics & antifungal drugs or herbs.
