Just before xmas, I started getting the usual yeast infection symptoms - itching, cottage-cheese like discharge etc. Went to the doc and got told to get Canestan Duo.
Used that and it cleared it up for a bit.
A week or so later, it returned but along with some new symptoms and they have been persistant ever since.
Doctor says just to keep taking the Canestan but it's doing nothing.

The new symptoms are extreme burning/inflamattion a few times a day, usually when I touch the area (i try not to but sometimes the itch gets too much). The burning is so sore that I can barely walk or sit down and I'm sitting with a cold compress between my legs for some relief. It actually feels like I have sunburn on my labia/clitoral area.

Another thing im noticing is that alongside the cottage-cheese like discharge, I'm getting milky, snot-like clumps and there's also a permanent white coating on the inner-labia. Its a transparent white but it's deffo there.

My doctor just keeps telling me I have a yeast infection and when I also asked the nurse, the minute i said 'cottage cheese discharge', she gave me Canestan again.
Clearly that's doing nothing so I'm at my wits end.

I'm sexually active; have the contraceptive implant, I've had sex twice since this started and both times, it's been very irritated afterwards (hence lack of sex )

I don't know if this is related but I've also had a clear discharge from my right nipple for 2 weeks now :/

thanks in advance

Yeast infections can and are passed back and forth from partner to partner. You can use all the medications that you can find and if your partner is not treated he/she will just give the infection back to you. You must get both partners to the doctor and get medications to clear this up for the two of you.
