A member asked:

I have a constant yeast infection (vaginal). otc creams have not helped. both my gp and gynae and prescribed fluconazole numerous times; it does nothing. what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Suppression: If you have recurrent yeast infections you may need to use a suppressive regiment - this usually involves something like taking fluconazole weekly for 6 months. Additionally, be sure you are practicing good vulvar hygiene: don't douche, use only gental soap (Dove) on the vulva, don't use vagisil or any summer's eve products (they are terrible for the vagina!), only cotton underwear!
