Hi,
Welcome to HCM!

I understand your query.

Well there are several causes of recurrent infections.

Primarily, your immune status may not be upto mark i.e you might be having some immune deficiency. Ensure a proper balanced diet with good eggs and non-veg intake if you are a non vegetarian, as they are a rich source of proteins. Soyabean is also a rich source of proteins.

You might want to get investigated to find out the cause of this immune deficiency.

Another common cause of recurrent infections is Diabetes. I'd strongly advice you to get a fasting and post prandial blood glucose test done to find out your diabetes status.

Thirdly, are you sure it's an yeast infection? I'd suggest you to visit a gynaecologist and get it examined to rule out any other condition.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if yo have any doubt.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
