In the past months I started to feel more and more pain during sex, itching and creamy white discharge. I went to my gynecologist and he diagnosed yeast infection. He gave me a borax brushing, and took a sample to send to the lab. He told me to use gynoxin, and prescribed me a hydrocortisone creme for the itching (tried canesten before but did not make any difference). I used the capsules but after the 1st box I did not feel any changed so I used another, but still nothing. Called him for my results 2 week later and the paper said I had an inflammation so he prescribed me fluomizin 10 mg, which was an antiseptic medicine that I had to use for 6 days. I finished that 2 weeks ago, and everything is still the same. The cream was good, but even that is still not 100% better. Now I ordered a boric acid capsules that I will use for 7-14 days but I do not even expect anything from that either? what else could I do to be better?

Hello- for a woman, coping with unhealthy vaginal symptoms can be more than a discomfort; it can lead to embarrassing social situations and awkward sexual encounters. Sadly, vaginal problems can be common and recurring, so proper understanding and treatment is critical to good mental and physical health. Vaginitis can be treated effectively with herbal supplementation. Tee tree oil and aloe vera are helpful for infections and is known for its healing effects. It can be applied topically to relieve itching or taken internally or used in a douche. Barberry has potent infection-fighting properties. Good hygiene is also important in preventing some types of vaginitis from recurring and may relieve some symptoms. Here are tips to prevent and combating recurring infections: avoid baths, hot tubs and whirlpool spas. Rinse soap from your outer genital area after a shower, and dry the area well to prevent irritation. Don't use scented or harsh soaps, such as those with deodorant or antibacterial action. Avoid irritants, including scented tampons and pads. Wipe from front to back after using the toilet to avoid spreading fecal bacteria to your vagina. Use a male latex condom to help avoid infections spread by sexual contact. Wear cotton underwear and pantyhose with a cotton crotch. Avoid wearing underwear to bed, as yeast thrives in moist environments.
