So I've been having recurring yeast infections since the time I first lost my virginity which was when I was 16. I'm now 21. My first one was bad because I didn't know what it was and let it go untreated. I ended up using Monistat once I realized it was a yeast infection. That year I got another and another. I became celibate until I met my husband when I was 18. I haven't had a yeast infection when I stopped having sex. But when I became pregnant after 3 months of marriage I got my first yeast infection in 3 years. I tried to treat itwith Monistat and it worked but it came right back the next week. I was in disbelief that it was a yeast infection because Monistat always worked intantly. I let it go untreated and it got BAD. I could not even have sex. Like at all. It felt like a huge metal pipe was being shoved up my hooha every time. I would cry every time I would have sex. It was indescribable. I went to the Gyno and he prescribed me flagyl and fluconazole and all that good stuff. I even used raw apple cider vinegar. But nothing seemed to work. So I would just cry and eventually gave up. I went to 3 different gynocologists and they all tried to treat it with diflucan/fluconazole because when they did tests they just found small amounts of yeast. But how could this little bit of yeast cause me so much pain. I waited until I gave birth to see it it will go away because that's what my MIL suggested. But it didn't. That was almost 2 years ago. Ever since then I've been going through Monistat kits and flagyl like it's water. Nothing seems to help. The infection would be cured temporarily but it always seems to come back. I regularly take shots of apple cider vinegar and every time it goes away I pray that it won't return. I'm really struggling. I know there has to be someone out there who's going through this struggle with me. Is there a permanent cute!? Please help. I know my husband feels so helpless and so do I. Thanks in advance
