I'm sorry. Since you tore you need to go to the doctor because you can get a bigger infection. Sometimes yeast infections can not be avoided. They are pretty uncomfortable. Monistat works wonders for me but like i said you should see a doctor first because i don't think you are supposed to use that ointment on an open wound.

Are you having unprotected sex? Not saying he has one but if you keep getting them and everytime you treat it it goes away but comes back possibly after having sex he needs to go to the doctor also.

Feel better.

Yeah I was at the doctor, I go once a month for yeast infetions. Yes, I'm having unprotected, but we haven't even had sex and this has been going on for about a year before I even had a boyfriend or sex. I'm at my wits end. I cant use monistat because of the vulvodynia, it's too strong :( I wonder if it could be stored in your uterus/cerxix or if birth control can really cause this to go on I don't know what to do, because I can't be off of it....

If it's not cured then yes it will stick around and get worse. Your doctor should definielty be able to give you something to cure them AND give you relief. If you are going to the doctor once a month that means they aren't going away. although the treatments are 1,3,7 day it take about two weeks for the infection to actually leave your body.

It does and than comes right back... I don't know why I do everything they tell me to do... and it burns like hell

It could be caused by a hormonal imbalance. It happened to me while on LoLoestrin birth control. I'd get at least one every month. I also have noticed that I get symptoms like itchiness, but not a full yeast infection around the time I ovulate even though I'm no longer on bc.

Hope you find a resolution. Sorry :(

I cant get off birth control cuz of the endo so what now?! Im really frustrated and feel awful too cuz of the drugs

has your doctor given you diflucan? it's a prescription antifungal pill you can take if the creams are too intolerable. for a while when i was on birth control pills i was getting a yeast infection right before the beginning of my period every single month, and taking diflucan made me hate my life a whole lot less.

yeah diflucan all the time

Sorry to be a pain but I'm just curious why are women with endo more prone to yeast? I just read an article that said we were but not why we were or what we could.do about it... is it because of all the hormones were on? No joke I feel line someone poured acid in my vag. I hate this feeling I'm scared this will be a forever thing (or that I was wrongly diagnosed) I don't even know anymore

Unprotected sex can cause the vaginal pH to change. My doctoer told me to use some Refresh (available over the counter) and sometimes I do a little douch with venegar to help balance the pH.

I would but because of vulvodynia no douching ugh but what is refresh?

Its over the counter vaginal gel that helps maintain the correct vaginal pH. It is next to the yeast infection meds usually at walmart, walgreens etc. However you mighr want to go see the doc first to make shure it is yeast and not a bacterial vaginosis because sometimes I have mistaken a yeast infection for a berterial infectiin because they both occur is the balance is not just right.

It's yeast I went to doc Monday

Soo sorry this is such a pain for you and I hope that this gets better for you really soon!! I've fortunately only had three of them in my life and I only get them when I'm on antibiotic.

My mom is all about natural remedies and I was just looking through one of her books. Apparently plain Yogurt esp Greek Yogurt is very good for it. I was surprised but you actually insert the yogurt into your vagina as you would monistat. I thought you were supposed to eat it, but I guess not. lol Apparently yogurts have natural cultures in it that kill off the yeast and help maintain a healthy environment. It looks like you would apply it the same as vag cream 1-2 tablespoons per day for a week.

If you try this let me know how it works, probably much cheaper then monostat to

Would that cure it indefinitely?
