I can't get rid of a yeast infection I got after getting herpes from my Ex. Any HELP out there?

Hi sammy,

Thanks for asking your question.  I'm not a doctor, so I can't give you medical advice, but I do have herpes, and often yeast infections, so maybe I can help.

How long have you had the yeast infection?  Sometimes I have bad yeast infections in which I have to go through two supplies of Monistat.  Has it been longer than that?  Also, the doctor can give you oral medication, so you may want to try that.  If you can't afford to see a doctor, try going to Planned Parenthood.  

It's also possible you are having a herpes outbreak.  I wrote a SharePost called Genital Herpes and Yeast Infections that talks about my issues dealing with both, and how I can distinguish between the two when I'm having symptoms.  You should check it out.  

If problems persist I'd see a doctor.

It's probably your first outbreak.

Symptoms are very similar.

I had my first outbreak 2 months ago and can't get it to go away.

Docs treated me for yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, and all sorts of stuff but still having symptoms.

Sometimes outbreaks aren't the typical sores and it appears the same as a yeast infection does... doctors didn't know what mine was obviously.

now I'm trying to change my diet bc medication isn't working either :(

let me know if you find anything that helps. ty
