Yeast infections that won't go away.

I'm 19 years old. I'm on birth control. And I gave recently been getting horrid yeast infections after every period. I've tried everything. Nothing helps. Someone please give me some advice. This is not fun :(

I want to remind posters that douching is not recommended at any time by the medical community. It actually causes MORE yeast infections down the road.  Please do not douche-------  ever.  Not good for you!

I agree to look into your side effects of the birth control.  You also say you've tried everything.  What have you tried?  I personally like the pill that the doctor prescribes that clears it up dramatically well.  

peace

Trying douching and washing with lemon juice. For the put 1/4 lemon juice and the rest water. I had a terrible yeast infection that wouldn't go away and this git rid of it instantly. Just don't douche all the time and good luck

I agree with thatquietgirl. Check your medication's side effects, then check with your doctor to see if there is anything that will lessen the discomfort. And, you can always call a pharmacist, tell them what your medication is, then tell them about your infection, and ask if there is anything over-the-counter that you can take or use.

Check your birth control's side effects.  You may need to mention this to your doctor and switch what you're on.
