Permanent Yeast Infection?!

Question

I'm so frustrated and upset! I've literally been on antibiotics for yeast atleast twice a month since getting pregnant. I'm sick of it and miserable! My dr just keeps prescribing the same medications but none of them have even changed anything at all. I don't have a lot of sugar in my diet,  I don't sleep with underwear on,  I haven't been having sex. I'm scared that I'm literally going to have yeast until weeks after I deliver!! I had recently just FINALLY kicked it... for exactly one week until I was diagnosed with BV and the fucking antibiotics for that gave me yeast. I've taken both doses of the medication about a week ago and now I have to wait another 5 days to get more medication even though it's only intensifying. 
I feel disgusting and angry. I'm 36 wks and sick to death of this shit. 
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? What did your dr do?

Answer

I use baby powder in my undies to stay dry. It works.

Answer

I used to have chronic yeast infections right before I got pregnant. I started drinking lemon water once a day and I haven't had one since. Not sure if that's what did it but it's definitely worth a shot! I just squeezed one lemon and added it to a bottle of water .

Answer

Trying using something like canesten or coconut oil down there instead of taking antibiotics this will treat it better

Answer

Candida overgrowth is hard to get under control without probiotics - antibiotics may try and kill it but they also kill all the good bacteria that was keeping it under control. Take probiotics, ideally one for candida that contains sacchoromyces boullardi and it will crowd it out. Both safe.

Answer

Try getting a ph balance wash for down there. I haven't had one sense I started using one. I was getting them right after I got rid of the one I had.

Answer

You're not supposed to clean inside the labia with anything but water but have you done your glucose tolerance test yet? I had chronic yeast for almost a year I ate very healthy, drank lots of water, very limited carbs and sugar, lost 70lbs and the only thing that helped the itching was monistat but my dr wouldn't listen to that and kept telling me it was contact dermatitis as most of the itching I felt was outside and it was causing micro tearing anyway I was diagnosed with diabetes and started medication and within a week the itching went away and hasn't been back yet (8mos)

Answer

You shouldn't be taking an antibiotic for a yeast infection. If the medicine you are taking is actually an antibiotic, that is why you can't get rid of the yeast infection. You could try taking a probiotic.

Answer

I'm 26 weeks and I've had a yeast infection the my whole pregnancy. I swear no matter what I do. It won't go away. It's on my nerves. I've done everything to try and get rid of it. But my doctor just says my hormones are throwing things off on my body. So it's normal.
