Thank you for your questions. The following answers regarding your current queries are just general descriptions due to the limited information provided by you. Click on this link (DoctorOnCall) for a private consultation with our doctors.

First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms and other health problems you might be facing. Some risk factors are prolonged antibiotic usage, diabetes mellitus, contraceptive use, immunodeficiency, mechanical irritation of vagina and sexual transmission. If you are on prolonged antibiotics or contraception, it is advisable for you to visit your doctor to change your medication. You should get a medical check-up done to rule out diabetes mellitus and immunodeficiency. Do not use tight pants or synthetic undergarments, wear cotton panties instead.

If you are sexually active, get your partner tested out for fungal infection as this may also be the reason for you to get persistent infections. If none of these methods work, you are most like to have a condition known as recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. This is defined as four specific episodes of candidiasis occur in a year. This would require a longer duration of treatment, which is oral antifungal tablet to be taken each week for 6 consecutive week, as well as topical antifungal agents.

You are advised to return to your doctor to have a full examination including collection of swab samples from the vagina to identify other concurrent infections. In some occasions, a different Candida species may be the cause of vaginal candidiasis which cannot be cured by the usual prescription. An examination of the swab sample will also rule out this cause. This would require a higher dose of treatment. There are other factors which also contribute to persistent vaginal candidiasis.

In order for us to provide you with an accurate choice of treatment and management, we need additional details to explore further into your current complaints.
