Im going crazy over these constant yeast infections!!! Anyone have any great prevention ideas?
<< diabetes--if blood sugar is kept under control are you still destined to die younger than usual? I'm writing a synthesis paper and need advice.? >>
I have been plagued with yeast infections for about two years now. it seems as if I get one every month. Iam on birth control (which may contribute) and currently Im on antibiotics for a UTI. Im also taking AZO yeast everyday. I have been taking them for two months and it seemed to be working but Im getting the symptoms again (burning,tender vulva and painfull sex, and little discharge). I have been tested for diabetes, hiv, and everything else that would cause a person to be consistently getting them and they come back negative. should I up my dosage of AZO yeast when taking biotics or do I need a stronger supplement?-thanks

Tia, I am in a very similar situation to you! I know how annoying chronic yeast infections can be. I used to get them every month (generally after my period) and over the counter medications would burn me and were so expensive! My aunt also suffered from chronic yeast infections and she recommended using Boric Acid powder and putting them into empty pill capsules and inserting them into the vagina. I started using a capsule at night whenever I felt itchy and normally after two nights, my yeast infection is gone. You can use Boric Acid for up to two weeks. I also use boric acid after my period just as a preventative measure.
Go to the pharmacy and ask for boric acid (in powder form) and empty pill capsules. Just fill the capsules with some of the powder and insert whenever you have an infection (or want to prevent one). The boric acid itself is super cheap. I paid $4 for large bottle which has lasted me almost a year so far.
Here is an article which explains some of the effectiveness rates of boric acid in clinical trials.

I have no idea what causes them but they sure do suck! I hope this works for you.
