How Do I Treat Vaginal Candidiasis. I’ve Been To The Doctor Before, But It Keeps Coming Back. Help.?
This is a kind of irritation around the vagina. One gets unusual discharge, that sometimes smells like bread because of the yeast. There is an itchy feeling, and burning sensation when passing urine. it is really painful at times and even being sexually intimate is a problem. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Go back to the gynecologist and say you’re having recurring yeast infections. The doc should give you a prescription for Diflucan (a tablet) or a stronger cream so you can take it once a month for three months. That should knock out the yeast infections.
Diabetes can cause frequent yeast infections, so you may want to get tested for that.
One overlooked possible cause of yeast infections is a little urine dripping into the vagina when you urinate. Dry yourself gently yet thoroughly, wiping front to back.
Eating yogurt may help prevent a yeast infection, but it won’t cure one. Make sure you pick a kind with live and active cultures. I take an Acidophilus caplet each day, and that helps fend off the yeast.
Taking a bath and using an Aveeno bathing product may cut down on the irritation. A little cortisone cream may help, too.

Finally, it’s possible you have a different kind of infection. Your doctor should make a definitive diagnosis.

Start eating yogurt. I think this helps.

Being proactive is better than being reactive.
Wear cotton panties or panties with cotton lining.
Sleep without bottoms to allow airflow.
Avoid douching, or the use of femine sprays or colognes.
Use only unscented Hypoallergenic Femine products, such as tampons and pads.
Make sure you are always wiping from front to back.
Avoid taking baths. Opt for showering, and do not use soaps that are scented or contain lotions or oils. A mild unscented antibacterial wash can be used, just rinse well.
Avoid wearing very tight fitting jeans or panty hose. If hose are a must try thigh highs.
Eat yogurt regularly or take an acidophilus supplement daily. Acidophilus is a live bacterial culture that helps the body regulate the amount of yeast it has.
Your partner needs to be treated for the infection as well. Until this is possible, use condoms to avoid passing the infection back and forth between one another.
Use unscented hypoallergenic laundry detergent for your panties.
These things should help. If not then more consultation with your doctor is needed. Some women are just prone to this.
