Recurring Yeast Infections

[mariacaruana]

Hi, I've been suffering from vaginal yeast infections for the past 2 years.  I experience this in the last few days of my period. My period is usually more brownish in the last few days and it gives me a severe stinging sensation whenever I pee and sex is completely out of the question. Even after my period the burning remains until I take some vaginal pessaries such as canesten. The creams do not help at all, only the pessaries seem to cure me from the burning. But then comes the next period and I have to go through this again. It seems that my period is acidic or something like that and I do not know what I can do :/ I'm 19 and do not suffer from anything else. Thanks!

THANK GOD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!!!! I have a yeast infection all of the time and im also 19 ive been to so many doctors and they all say its yeast ive tried medicine like diflucan I take that every week once a week for 6 months its horrible and I feel like its not doing much :/ I think I have a resistant strand of yeast ! Ive also read online on a comment about some violet dye or pill you can take that lays in your cervix and kills the yeast on contact ask your doctor about it cause I am going to! I have burning all of the time its so horrible I know what you are going through

I've also had these same problems, and I've been tested for all kinds of infections that could possibly be causing it. They came up with a solution for me that may work for you. You might be sensitive to the pads your using. Certain pads, scented/whatever your currently using, can cause itching and burning that is similar to vaginal yeast infections. What my doctor recommended was when I was off my period to not wear any pad. And when I'm on my period definitely use one but make sure not to wear tight clothing, because that can cause the liquids to become trapped and cause more itching and burning. Hope this helps.
