Probably: If the over the counter yeast remedies aren't working, seeing your gynecologist would be wise. They would also be able to confirm that it's actually a yeast infection and not something else.

When I was 16, I had vaginal bacterial (coccus) and yeast infection (symptoms discharge). I went to 2 gyns and their treatment didn't work. When I became 18, I found another gyn and treatment cleared up everything. Does it mean, I had it chronic?
