Well..I haven't had one in about geesh 10 years...so that seems like alot.
I wouldn't use the word "wrong" but there is something you are eating or nutritionally going on ...because you shouldn't get them at all really My oppinion :)
IF it were me I would go to a Nutritionist....and tell them what's happening....and I am sure they can run a test or two and it's probably a food :) IF you go to the doctor they will PROBABLY either A) put you on a medication OR B) tell you to buy the overcounter stuff...but we both know it will happen again..so handle the REAL problem :) HOpe this helps!

try to keep the area as dry as possible... if you work, when you get home wear extremely loose cotton pants and no underwear.. Also, take 2 acidophilous pills a day - and you may want to continue with these to help prevent additional infections...
Try to stay outta there too - no creams of anything, let the diflucan work. You may need to take a second one to make sure it's totally gone...
Good luck, it will hopefully we better by tomorrow!

If you have had more than 3 or 4 yeast infections within the span of a year, that is now considered a chronic yeast infection. It used to be referred to as a recurring yeast infection, but they are changing there thinking. It may turn out that you may need to go on long term (6mo) suppressive therapy to knock it out.
Have you been checked for diabetes? One of the symptoms of diabetes is reocurring yeast infections. I do feel for you. I get about one a year and that's enough to put me over the edge. I hope you are able to get it taken care of.

Do you swim much and where do you swim? How about your blood sugar...have you had that checked lately? Some people can't handle much yeast in their system. I've looked at a few books in book stores regarding living with Yeast and it has good ideas on what to eat and what to avoid. I found it pretty interesting. I know certain antibiotics can cause yeast infections..eating yogurt helps with this. Good luck and hope I've helped some. Oh yeah...would be nice not to have any yeast infections at all but none would be better.

It may be that your urine is not acidic that's why it's easy for the yeast to thrive in your vagina. Try drinking cranberry juice because it acidifies your urine. Proper hygiene is also a key to your problem. Remember to wipe your genitals from front to back. Also refrain from wearing tight jeans and try not to wear panties when you sleep so that you can let the genital area breath and airdry. Remember that a damp area is a favorable breeding site for yeast and bacteria.
If the yeast infection persists, try to have yourself checked for diabetes because diabetics are prone to this types of infection. If in case you are (which I hope you are not!) then controlling your diabetes will be the cure for this.
Good day!

Although yeast infections are fairly common, prevalent yeast infections could indicate that something else might be going on. In that case, medical attention is necessary. I'm including an article that goes more in depth. Hope it helps!

Chronic yeast infections are not all that unusual, but they do deserve medical attention. It can be a symptom of a larger problem, an unusually resistant yeast strain that you aren't killing off with OTC medications, or you could just be one of the unlucky people who gets a lot of yeast infections.

There are different kinds of yeast. I had a yeast infection that wouldn't go away with over the counter medicine. My gyne had to prescribe a different medicine. That took care of it.

yeast is alive and needs to eat. its favorite food is sugar. 1 non diet soda can keep it dormant and alive until its ready to attack. try laying off sugary snacks, regular soda, and try to eat at least 3 light yogurts a week. the natural enzymes in the yogurt cultures will keep the yeast under control
undiagnosed diabetics also can suffer from lots of yeast infestations

It could mean you are diabetic or possibly that it isn't yeast at all but BV (which needs prescription drugs to cure). I would see the doc for sure. It could also be something as simple as the way you wipe or how you wash. Good luck.
