Yeast infection: You don't say where your yeast infection (thrush) is. If vaginal, you may need to be checked for conditions that can increase risk, especially diabetes. Also, about 5% of vaginal yeast infections are caused by yeasts resistant to the usual treatments, such as the "azole" drugs. If your doctor is unfamiliar with all this, consider your local NHS GUM clinic for expert care.
