You might also have a urinary track infection. Also, eating alot of yogurt can cause a yeast infection or make it worse. I'd ease off of the yogurt. If you think you still have a yeast infeaction you can get one of those yeast infection tests. If you have one you will have to treat again. Good Luck.

the recurring yeast infection may be treatable, but the medication may only be treating the symptoms – not the actual cause. Men can also carry a yeast infection without any symptoms – especially if he had intercourse with a woman who had a yeast infection. If you do come down with one, be sure that your man is treated for one as well. If not, you will just be passing a yeast infection back and forth forever!
In addition, if the causes are not treated, then the yeast infection will return, and could return with a vengeance. The more yeast infections a woman gets, the more difficult it is to treat. Also, the more difficult it is to treat, then the worse the symptoms become, and the less they are relieved by modern medicine!
Yeast infections can be treated, but need to be done proficiently. If the medicine just masks the symptoms only, then the infection will grow stronger, and become more problematic than originally thought.

Are you sure you got a yeast infection? Cause most of the time a yeast infection goes away when you get your period. You should talk to your doctor about it, it can be an urinary tract infection (uti), which burns when you pee.
If you have sex when you have an infection, more than likely it'll come back if your partner isn't treated. Just don't have sex till you're cleared.
Be sure to wear cotton underwear and no thongs, cause thongs can cause infections. When washing yourself use a non scented soap.
Sorry I needed to add cause someone suggested douche. Well do not douche cause that can cause more of an infection, that pushes the bacteria even upper into your body, I know from experience.

Be careful about how much dairy you may be eating. Milk, cheese and ice cream are huge yeast producers and if you consume a lot of them, you will be more prone to constant yeast infections.
I would suggest you go to your doctor and get checked again. There is a little pink pill, I have forgotten the name, that you can take to treat yeast infections - it starts working right away and clears the problem up fast.

Go to the doctor, it shouldn't burn when you urinate. Maybe you have a UTI (urinary tract infection) or bladder, kidney infection. Yeast usually clears up with medication in 3 to 5 days. Stop having sex with the person who may have given you the yeast infection and make sure they get treatment too. Also do not masturbate or rub yourself, that will only cause more irritation. You may try a vinegar douche 1/2 water and 1/2 and white vinegar. Good Luck.

Maybe it is time to see a doctor it could be just a bladder infection. It does not burn if you pee when it is a yeast infection. Try AZO at the drug store for bladder infections and see if that works then you can rule that out. If it does not get anybetter than you need to see a doctor

You may have a bladder infection or another treatment for the yeast. Make an appointment with your doctor. Could be several things.

Go to the drug store and get Vagisil or some cream for yeast infections. It usually clears up in a few days.

A remedy, in addition to eating an active culture yogurt, is depositing the yogurt directly into the vagina. This is readily accomplished, with a spermicidal birth control applicator.
Please bear in mind, antibiotics, may cause vaginal yeast infections.
