Recurrent Vaginal Yeast Infections
Overview
What are recurrent vaginal yeast infections?
For your vaginal yeast infections to be thought of as recurrent, you must have three or more infections within 1 year. And they must cause symptoms.
How are they treated?
Recurrent vaginal yeast infections are usually treated with several doses of an oral pill or with vaginal medicine for a longer amount of time.
This first treatment may be followed by up to 6 months of maintenance therapy. This could be oral or vaginal medicines.
If symptoms don't improve after treatment, more testing and treatment may be needed.
