I would tell him he has to or you won't be having sex period and that he is probably passing it back and forth so try to get him to understand that. Don't use dial try dove unscented if you have that there. Are you being swabbed every time for yeast to make sure that is what it is?
In Canada we have canestan in the US it's monistat not sure where you live but those creams will work. Tell him to put it on faithfully like 3 times a day the same time you are being treated.
Out of curiosity what are you using to treat ?

This is what I have tried and done so far, I do love sweets but have cut sugar a in the last 2 weeks and will talk to doc about checking sugar. I started taking Acidophlus a probiotic, I need to take it regularly tho I have been forgetting. I quit using tampons because it holds infection in they say.

Thank you and i just had one question do you know what if any treatments there are for men to use?
If you are having chronic yeast infections you may want to try some things at home that may be the cause of reoccurring yeast infections. First of all, make sure you are not were clothes that cause yeast infections such as tight fitting clothing such as skinny jeans or tight fitting pants. It's important that your vagina to have adequate air flow bc tight fitting pants can cause the airflow to be low and with the riding of temp to your vaginal area is a breathing ground for yeast infections. Make sure your panties area cotton lined as this also is a breathable material. Your diet is another factor, if you eat alot of sugar or sugary foods this can cause a yeast infection so try to avoid such foods. On that note has any of the doctors checked your blood sugar level as chronic yeast infections could be an early sign of diabetes. When taking antibiotics you should also take an over the counter probiotic there are specific kinds for regulating the vaginal ph balance. Probiotics help to replenish the good bacteria that sometimes the antibiotics tend to kill off while treating for different ailments. Eating plain yogurt (no fruity types) will help prevent yeast infections. If you douche alot this can also bring on yeast infections. Sometimes certain soaps can be too harsh for that area Dove soap is a good soap to use as its not as harsh as say Zest. When you are drying off make sure you dry that area well, some people are encouraged to use a hair dryer on a low setting to dry the area well. When you go to the bathroom make sure to wipe front to back not back to front as bacteria can get in the vaginal area and can cause a yeast infection. I hope this helps.
Do you have Dufflican where you are? Here they used to give it to me because none of the over the counter stuff worked however in Canada they now have this as pill form on the shelf so it saves me a lot of time.
What I would suggest as I have had chronic yeast infections since I was 15 I am 36 now. I went to see a naturopathic doctor and she gave me this herbal called Candacin and I was to take that daily I can't remember the dosage plus stop eating yeast, sugar and gluten for 3 months. You should see a difference. I mean mine was chronic. It would just not go away.
