Yeast Infection on The Asshole

20 year old female, chronic thrush sufferer.
MARRIED, tend to develop thrush symtoms day after intercourse.

became very noticible when bouts of thrush became more intense and more frequent.

It began from a thrush infection, petri dish results came back from the lab specifying that i had a "heavy overgrowth of candida albicans", this was almost 3 weeks ago.

For many years from ages 14-till now (20) i have suffered from reoccuernt bouts of thrush, usually minor enough to be treated by 6 day course of canesten cream and which always clears up after treatment.

I was just routinely tested for clamidyia, herpes virus 1 and 2, hiv, bacterial vaginosis, uti (urinary tract in fection) and they all came back negative. (A HEAVY OVERGROWTH OF CANDIDA ALBICANS) was THE CULPRIT.

i dont smoke or drink, am not on the pill, i dont have diabetes but i do suffer from stress and anxiety and hypoglycemia as well as love my chocolate and coffee a little too much.

i wear cotton undies, dont wash my vagina with anything other than water, i both eat yoghurt and apply it topically. i am taking inner health plus capsules every day to help my body build up its good bacteria. i eat a lot of garlic, am now bathing in baths containing apple cider vinigar and baking soda.

i am now boiling my water, drinking more than 2 litres a day and cutting out all suger, caffeine and antibiotic containing foods such as red meat chicken, eggs and naturally ALL YEAST CONTAINING PRODUCTS.

i am up to my wits end with pain when i pass urine even though i have been tested for a UTI twice now and they both came back negative. i have a CONSTANT BURNING SENSATION on the outsie lips of my vulva that periodically worsens in bouts of varying intentisity.

BUT THE BURNING IS ALWAYS THERE!!!.

i am going to see a specialist however, the doctors are saying that i should be sitting on their side of the desk consisdering i have researched so much to help myself but they just prescribe one treatment at a time to no avail.

TREATMENTS I HAVE USED
i have used canesoral duo (oral capsule and topical cream) 3 days later no improvement, canesten 3 day cream, 3 days later no improvement, visit to the doctor again prescribed NILSTAT for a course of 14 days, burning began to get worse whilst using the cream so i stopped went to a different doctor and was prescribed orzole oral capsule and canesten 6 day pessary (the ones u insert in the vagina) no improvement. so back to the doctor and was prescribed boric acid (14 day course).

Am currently on my 4th day of treatment and symptoms have remained the same-constant burning-worse when i URINATE-fluctuaing in levels of intensity. i am extreamily depressed and have suicidal thoughts.

on top of this my anxiety is playing up and making it terribly hard to keep up with anything in my daily life. i have drastically changed my diet to kill the candida yeast and am taking antifungal herbal teas from the naturopath to help elliminate the fungal infection in my body.

i am suffering really bad withdrawal symptoms for sugar and coffee which is only making the process worse. i feel as though the doctors have not a clue about how to really help or treat reoccurent thrush infections and that really brings out my anxiety and fear levels further.

i feel really alone. it is ruining my sex life, my social life, my studies, my work and my will to live.

the fact that i have tried all these treatments and still no relief makes me think is it possible to burn myself with the amount of differnt treatments i have used? AND HENCE THE BURNING SENSATION NOW?

then i think its not possible because my body would have healed itself now if that was the case.

could i have possibly cut myself when pushing the dry applicator into my vagina and irritated it?

OR IS IT ANOTHER CONDITION ALLTOGETHER?

i was GOOGLING CONSTANT VAGINAL BURNING and reaults came back about a condition called VULVODYNIA where for some unknown reason a womans vagina is constantly irritated, burning and sore.

apparently the doctors dont know much about that condition either and only prescribe antidepresents anyway.

apparently reoccurent vaginal yeast infections (thrush) can bring VULVODYNIA) ON.

does any one have any INTRICATE advice about reoccurent thrush infections and CONSTANT VAGINAL BURNING?

believe you me i have researched nealry all there is to know about canida thrush infections but all the information is so general and reapeated.

WHAT CAN I DO TO FASTEN THE HEALING PROCESS?

all these drastic changes to my diet and lifestyle are so draining and in my fragile state it is hard not to feel suicidal and totally alone.

I HAVE COMPLAINED SO MUCH THAT MY HUSBAND IS NOW IMMUNE TO MY SUFFERING STATE AND I FEEL EVEN FURTHER ISOLATED.

PLEASE HELP!

i hope i have described my history thouroghly enough.
