Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. You should get a pelvic examination by a gynecologist and vaginal swab to rule out the causative agent of infection. If yeast infection it can be treated with proper therapy. First line treatment used is clotrimazole cream (monistat) application. It should be used for 1 week or more according the recommendation of your gynecologist. Fluconazole (diflucan) is usually given weekly once for 1 month or more. Other alternatives are used in case of resistant cases also. You can also use intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH and there by prevent getting such infections.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
