ello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic One factor for return of yeast infection could be birth control pills. Birth control pills may lead to women developing yeast infections because they increase estrogen levels in a woman’s body. If I was the treating doctor I would have advised you to use an OTC topical antifungal e.g clotrimazole vaginal tablets for 7 days. A single dose of an oral antifungal e.g fluconazole is also curative. It is advisable to check from your partner for any redness, genital itching and therefore the partner also need to be simultaneously treated to prevent a recurrence. Practice abstinence from sex for a week till the condition resolves fully. Regards
