My little sister keeps getting yeast infections, even though she's been to the doctor numerous times. She's been on medication and OTC medicines like
Monistat but they still keep coming back. It's only been two weeks between this latest occurrence and her last one. My mom is going to try and get a
referral to a gynecologist but does anyone have any ideas on what she should try next? It's just kind of getting ridiculous.

New Nordic 'Dida' is an excellent natural product that helps with candida overgrowth.
It's available in most drug and health food stores.

If so she could be having a reaction to non cotton underwear. Cotton underwear are the best because it allows your body to breathe.I hope that helps some Best wishes to you and her..... |

I also was going to suggest cotton undies and make sure here pants arent too tight.

Its probably something other than yeast, like bacteria.

Sounds like excess candida, there are cleanses for that. Does she get strep throat a lot too?

Last year I had alot of yeast infections, my gyno put me on dyflucan (Sp?) for 6 months and I haven't had one since. She should really go to the gyno.
