Hi
Welcome to the forum
If you have a yeast infection in the vagina, and are unable to get rid of it despite oral and local antifungal agents then you have to go for more intense treatment program.
Since you are in a relationship, both you and your partner would need to be treated. Antifungal agent may need to be stepped up orally twice a week for a month and then once a week for one or two months depending on the response. Similarly your partner would need to take oral medication. Both you and your partner would need to apply local anti=fungal agent. Also sexual intercourse should be started after 2 weeks of oral anti fungal cover.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage on net without examining you. Please consult a gynecologist. Take care!
