Recurrent vaginal infection not improvin
I have been suffering from recurrent vaginal/fungal infection for the last 8 months. I have already changed 3–4 doctors and completed full treatment courses many times, but nothing is working permanently. The symptoms become better during treatment, but within 2–3 days after completing the medicines, the infection and burning/irritation come back again. It is affecting me mentally and physically, and I am very stressed and confused now. I want to understand why this keeps happening and what tests or treatment I should do next. Could this be something other than a fungal infection? Please guide me properly because I am exhausted with repeated treatments and no long-term relief.
At this point, I feel like I may never fully recover because nothing is giving me long-term relief. 😔

Do pap smear and high vaginal swab
If recurrent candidiasis is there then you need medication for 6 months to prevent recurrence
Also check blood sugar levels to rule out diabetes

Your distress understandable . In some long term treatment for 6 months also is needed. Get evaluated and Physically examined properly and then start long term treatment. Do Vaginal swab culture and Sensitivety test also.
