Every time I get it cleared up it comes back after a few days. Will my gynecolegist be able to give me something stronger and/or will he recommend me to not take baths any more (I don't like showers! -- I've always taken baths!) I hope he will be able to give me a stronger medicine.

you have answered your own question. It is likely the tub baths that are causing your problem. All the germs in the water destroy the balance in your vagina and poof, you get a yeast infection. Like it or not, tub baths are unhealthy.

You may have had an allergic reaction to the medication. I would stop it and see if the swelling goes away. You can tell your doctor. The allergy may possibly be to the vehicle the medication is in (the ointment or cream). Also if you are using any wipes down there that is a common cause of a contact allergy. I would stop applying everything and ask your doctor for a true patch test. It will check for common contact allergies. Your doctor can treat you with an oral medication if your yeast infection is still giving you problems.

I have been battling this issue only 3 times in my life. But every time I had it, it got worse and couldn’t get rid of it unless I got a prescription from my doctor, took the tablets many times… I’ve tried everything.
Finally had a learning experience last week. My Shaklee distributor recommended garlic tablets and I said, heck why not. You’ve got to try this! Instructions and suggestions are on this website http://www.completeproductline.com/webpage.asp?id=87 Good luck, and feel well soon.

Maybe it's your diet. I heard several times that stress and loads of sugar in your diet cause yeast infections. Try eating healthy foods and the probiotic acidophilus aids in the protection of yeast infections.

Wear Cotton underware.... Synthetic can cause you to have more outbreaks. If you are sexually active maybe your partner also has an yeast infection.
But I would recommend you see your GYN.... Baths do not cause you to have more infections.

Maybe the Miconazole isn't totally clearing it up. I'm sure there are other antifungals you can use.

No baths, stay away from douches, and make sure you change tampons regularly throughout the day.

Yes, your obgyn will give you one pill to take orally, it's an anti-fungal pill. One is all it takes to remove your infection. I just got the same thing. Go to the dr.

if it keeps coming back it could be something more than a yeast infection...
