Candida: There are many facts missing from your description. Have you been tested for immune dysfunction? Do you have diabetes, been on antibiotics, steroids, etc.? Has your sexual partner been treated? You might want to consult with an infectious disease expert. Good luck and hope you get rid of this.

Suppression: 1 in 10 women experience recurrent fungal vaginitis for no apparent reason. It is easy to treat and easy to prevent. For those women antifungal medication is prescribed to resolve the infection then is prescribed to take one day each weeks as suppressive therapy to prevent recurrences. That works over 90% of the time.
