Suggest Treatment For Pain And Yeast Infection
Hello I. 23 years old I ve never had a yeast infection until about 3 year ago I got one and since then they continue to rescuer after a week of being treated. I have no sex life with my husband no because of the pain. Around that time I was diagnosed with hep. C from drug use. I ve been clean now for 2 years now. I ve went to the doctor about it over and over again. And they seem to have no answers for me. Seems to me since being diagnosed with this and them knowing of my past drug use most doctors don t treat me as well as they use to even tho I ve been clean. I feel helpless and I m falling in to depression. I need help

Hello,
I understand your plight.
Yeast infection is common in women and it can recur if incompletely treated or if your immunity is compromised either due to diseases or other infections. Are you on treatment for Hepatitis C and have you been screened for HIV?
What was the treatment you took for the yeast infection? Are you any medicines now? If you are please let me know all the medicines - prescription and OTC.
I would be happy to give my opinion after getting the information required.
Take care
Dr. Noble Zachariah
