no a product I would've picked for this issue to be honest. there's nothing in there to colonize the urogenital tract . that product is a bowel product.

yogurt orally also doesn't do anything for vaginal yeast. all it does is help with bowel health ( and not much at that because there isn't a lot of active cultures in it that survive digestion ).

birth control pill is what I meant by bc pill.

you also need to go back and be seen again and get a proper exam done to see what is going on and causing you to still have pain.

actually no you don't take antibiotics for your herpes everyday - you take antivirals. there is a big difference in them.

the herpes antivirals are not associated with vaginitis.

it's not unusual for us gals to get yeast infections repeatedly :(  Are you being seen and properly diagnosed with vaginal yeast? Have they done a full work up to see why  you are having pain everyday?  What yeast treatments have you tried?

have you tried any of the probiotics like fem dophilus by jarrow to help restore your protective vaginal flora?

are you on the bc pill?
