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. http://altmedicine.about.com/od/healthconditionsqtoz/a/yeast_infection.htm I have no idea what causes them but they sure do suck! I hope this works for you. :) Tia, I am in a very similar situation to you! I know how annoying chronic yeast infections can be.
