Need a GYN evaluatn: If you have had your ovaries removed, then you may need some vaginal estrogen to balance out the ph in the vagina. Also, if you had any vaginal mesh placed, you should see your gyn to make sure that is is not exposed in the vagina. At the minimum, recurrent yeast infections can be treated with a weekly dose of a medicine called Diflucan (fluconazole) for four weeks.

Further eval: If you are having recurrent infections a detailed evaluation is indicated. It would be important to determine the type of yeast and make sure it is not a continuous undertreated infection versus a recurrent problem. Screening for diabetes may also be helpful. Use of oral medication may be necessary over a several week timeframe may be helpful.
