Suggest Treatment For Unresolved Multiple Yeast Infections

I have been having multiple yeast infections they come and go and i just tried over the counter medication. it did not work. i do take the HGC hormone and have been doing that about the same time the yeast infections began. I have not come into contact with anyone who could be HIV AIDS postive, the only time it may have happened was over two years ago. my blood has been tested since then for anything wrong with it, and the blood work came back good. what should i do

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

You seem to be suffering from Vaginitis. If I was your treating physician I would perform a vaginal swab culture and urine culture first of all to reach the confirm diagnosis and its type.....it may be either of three ( bacterial, fungal or trichomoniasis).
then my treatment plan would be according to the culture reports. As you have mentioned that you have already taken treatment for vaginitis, i would suggest that you now consult your gynaecologist for further treatment as excessive use of all drugs will make the causative organism resisitant which will make it even harder to cure.
The treatment for recurrent infection may require medicines for a longer period of time.

Meanwhile take extra care of hygiene of genital area, wear cotton undergarments and frequents changing of tampons.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
