Hello
Thanks for your query.
Please have a consultation with your gynecologist again.
Sometimes the infection fails to clear, and at times, it can recur.
It would help me if you provide details of the infection and the reports done, as well as the treatment taken.
Meanwhile, avoid allergic synthetic undergarments.
Avoid prolonged dampness and change undergarments frequently.
Avoid tampons, douches, medicated and perfumed cleansers, tissues, latex condoms etc.
Do not vigorously rub private parts - gently clean with lukewarm water.
Have yourself tested for diabetes and STDs.
Have a urine analysis done, in case there is a urinary tract infection lurking around.
Take care
Feel free to discuss further.
