1 month long yeast infection
I just went to the Doctor yesterday and confirmed via swab that I still have yeast. I still have rawness in 1 spot/ some anal itching. I've used 14 days clotrimazole, 4 doses diflucan, and now 7 days terazol. The doctor told me to do 1 more dose terazol and diflucan once a week. I don't think this will solve anything. I'm sure as soon as i stop the terazol it will come right back.
BTW, I use student health services and although she is an MD, she is not a gyno.
Any advice?

No douching. Cotton underwear. No underwear at night. No soaps. No antibiotics. Stopped taking the pill 3 weeks ago.
My doc said dietary changes and probiotics don't have any evidence for yeast infections. Although I have tried to take probiotics. I have done some of the natural remedies, but no effect. Maybe the garlic will work.
I'm 27 so I can't use my parents insurance. This just doesn't seem normal. To have such a PROLONGED problem with this. I'm getting so depression and have constant anxiety about this.

Hi. Wow, I do think you've taken all the right steps to eradicate that. You aren't douching or anything? Taking any other antibiotics? Have you tried switching up your diet? (lowering sugar for example). Also, have you taken probiotics (either yogurt that you eat or by pill?)? There are some natural remedies such as inserting garlic, lemon juice and yogurt but generally putting anything into the vagina worries me as it can compound the problem.
Question, can you call your mom and perhaps see a gyno under their insurance?? Just for second opinion?
