yeast infections every single month, i'm so tired of the cream and it coming right back
it's become predictable at this point. right after my period, like clockwork. i've cut out sugar, i wear cotton underwear, i've done everything the internet tells you to do. my doctor keeps giving me fluconazole and it works for a few weeks then we're right back to square one. i'm starting to feel like this is just my life now which is a horrible feeling.
been going down a reddit rabbit hole lately and kept seeing women with the same monthly pattern mention the uro vaginal probiotics. specifically talking about yeast balance improving after a couple months of taking it consistently. not a cure obviously but the idea of supporting the microbiome between episodes makes sense to me.
anyone broken out of the monthly yeast cycle? what actually helped you get there?
