Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am twenty six and for the past year i have been having alot of yeast infections. i have gotten antibiotics and they helped in the past but now nothing is helping anymore. i am tired of visiting the doctors and i cant get an answer i have alot of antifungal creams and pills
With frequent repeated yeast infections , you may need to consider whether there are any conditions that may be contributing to the problem.
This would mean any conditions affecting your immune system that may be predisposing you to repeated infections eg (a)diabetes, (b)use of immune suppressants such as steroids, (c) poor immune system due to conditions such as lymphoma, leukemia- rare cause (d)wearing clothing that keep the vaginal area hot - should use cotton underwear, skirts etc (e)excess weight
You may want to consider seeing your doctor for assessment including physical examination and blood tests (screening for diabetes, complete blood count and ESR) ESR is an inflammatory marker that goes up if there is any reason for inflammation in the body eg infection, trauma, allergies, cancer, autoimmune diseases
I hope this helps
