Vaginal Infections

Recurring yeast infection can be frustrating. And this can happen because the yeast infection was not completely treated. Some conditions can mimic the symptoms of yeast infection so my first advice will be to do a vaginal swab test and a pelvic scan. If it’s a yeast infection, you’d most likely be administered fluconazole or a vaginal cream again. You’d need to avoid sex during the period of treatment. Change your undies after you treat the yeast infection. Incorporate probiotics in your diet. Reduce sugar intake. Limit antibiotics use. Practice good hygiene. Practice safe sex. Some research also says boric acid suppositories can help with recurring yeast infection but let it be a last resort.

Staphylococcus aureus can be a very persistent infection and it is known to reoccur. Did you do a test to confirm you actually have staphylococcus? Did you do an antimicrobial drug susceptibility test? This is because some strains of staphylococcus are resistant to certain antibiotics. If yes, did you complete your treatment? Did your partner get treated? If not, he should. And yes to your last question, it can be contracted with even the use of condoms.
