Depending on the type of yeast infection, they will require different treatments. I have a yeast/fungal infection of the skin that came about after I got cortisone shots in my back which then caused my immune system to weaken. If its cutaneous candida which is of the skin, you must switch up your anti-fungals because of the resistance issue. While using topicals for this, I've been taking herbs that are sopposed to help in this matter and could tell that they were working due to the die off symptoms I experienced.
For basic vaginal infections: Lay off the sugar, bread etc... Look up a diet for yeast infections and stick to it while using oral medication and inserts. After use, try something different if that does not work. If the doctor does not seem to care- SEE ANOTHER DOCTOR! preferably a female since they can relate to us. Do not take birth control pills, cortisone/steriods or antibiotics. All this does is feed it. Unless the antibiotics are for the infection, dont take them. Do your research! There is alot of info out there that are not always passed on to us!
