I'm 16 and I'm not sexually active. I've had constant yeast infections for about a year and I've had them since a young age. I've been using the drug store creams, I took a few of the pills too, and my doctor gave me a 10 day strong dose of something to get rid of it as well. It's still here and I have no clue what else to do.

Ask your doctor about using gentian violet. It is still listed by the World Health Organization for topical use. It will stain skin and clothes.I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
From a speech by Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775 at St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia -
You need to see a good naturopath in my opinion.Comment

Recurring yeast infections, especially since a young age, require a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional. There may be an underlying cause or resistant strain that needs to be addressed. Discuss your symptoms and previous treatments with your doctor to explore other options such as different medications or lifestyle adjustments to effectively manage the condition.Comment

Been dealing with a yeast infection since May 3rd, 2023. In June it got into my mouth causing oral thrush. I’ve been on fluconazole and Itraconazole for months. And high doses too. As soon as I stop taking medication the symptoms return within a few days. I’m am now using boric acid nightly, using nystatin suppositories in the morning and a vaginal probiotic in the afternoon. Along with CanXida pills, estrogen balancing pills, liver cleanse, immune boosting pills (all from Naturopath).
I’m on a strict diet. No sugar no alcohol no gluten no yeast.
Been called crazy by two (out of 6) doctors but finally have been referred to infectious disease. Waiting on appointment. Been to ER twice because I couldn’t take it anymore. Al tests come back negative for yeast because I’ve been on medication. Waiting on a Gyno appointment, which is taking forever.
it’s driving me crazy. I have good and bad days. But I’m itchy, uncomfortable and layers of yeast also build on my tongue and my inner cheeks feel weird all the time.
anyone survive this? Anyone know the cure?Comment
