Yeast

I have a yeast infection for the first time in a while. Last year I was plagued by a few back to back infections that went away pretty much on their own except the first one which treated with Monistat. I really don't want to use that stuff again as its really gross and I am afraid of creating a resistant strain of super yeast in my vagina (ew!) 
So. Does anybody have any advice on how to treat the cottage cheese? I am not really itchy, just find a lot of cheesy discharge on my panties. When I have sex. I am extremely wet at first but dry out really quick and when my partner pulls out there is this white chunky stuff leftover on the head of his penis :(
