Salutations,
I would need to have a little more information about your yeast infections. For example, are you sexually active, are you taking any medication‘s that might make you prone to yeast infections, are you douching (which Disrupt the self cleaning nature of the vibe vagina terriblydisrupt the self cleaning nature of the vagina terribly and are never advised)
I would advise that you see a doctor An OB/GYN would be the best, but family and internal medicine doctors are also trained in this area sometimes. If appropriate you’ll receive the diagnosis of “chronic, recurrent yeast infection.” Once that happens you will be eligible for prophylactic yeast infection treatment such as weekly Flagyl (in the form of a single oral tablet).
Don’t worry, you are not alone in this. Many women get yeast infections chronically with or without their periods. There is treatment and if you are evaluated and diagnosed properly this doesn’t have to be a problem much longer. I wish you the best of luck, and I am sorry you are suffering from this.
Best Regards,
