yeast infections that won't go away even with medicine
How long should yeast infections last? I went to my doctor and when she examined me she told me i had a yeast infection. She gave me a prescription for Monistat(which did not work.) then she gave me diphlucan (which also did not work) this Has been going on for about 2 months now. So is it possible for it to actually. Be a yeast infection?

I agree with everything the person above says, however douching is not on that agreed list since it removes natural GOOD bacteria that your body makes. I don't know how long you've been going through this infection but yeast infections are also commonly mistaken for other infections that are similar to it. One way you can relieve the itching and such is by taking a garlic clover, peeled [wrap it around a cheesecloth, so it can be easily removed, sort of like a tampon.] and put it into your vagina. I won't really recommend it and it's not as popular as douching [even though its bad] because there's a connection between your vagina and your mouth so if you're going to actually use this technique then use it at night where you won't taste the garlic and then get rid of it in the morning. If you leave the garlic in throughout the day then you'll be tasting and smelling garlic everywhere you go. Also, use cotton underwear. It helps your vagina "breathe" and stay dry. But don't misunderstand when I say dry, because naturally the body releases a moisture around the inside of the vagina lip which is healthy, but we don't want it to have too much moisture either. Good luck

I have the same problem, only mine has been on and off ever since I was a toddler. It feels exactly like a yeast infection, but it goes on and off for weeks at a time, and has been for forever. I always thought I just got a lot of yeast infections. But it has something to do with the fact that I sweat a lot more than normal people, and bacteria gets down there and... Well, yeah. Mine's also more sensitive down there than other women too. If you do or do not have this problem, here are some things that will help you either recover from your infection or cope with your problem. Use a non-scented body wash down there instead of scented, shower your body everyday, if not twice a day, with warm water. Also, apply Monistat or Vagisil, (My weapon of choice), as needed. If you really want to tackle the problem, douches can really help clean it out. If you don't want to spend the money on douches, you can mix vinegar and water and use that instead. (My doctor suggested that, so it is safe. Use little vinegar, more water.)
So those are some things I do to help solve those nasty infections. Hope I helped. Good luck!

It could be something other than a yeast infection... My advice is to go back and tell your doctor about the problem let her know that it is not going away and see if it could be something else.... a girl I know gets them all the time her doctor says its because she produces too much yeast.... bt hers always goes away with the medication... def go back to the doctor and tell her what is going on you dont want to leave it untreated good luck and best wishes hope you get results soon
