How often is too often to get yeast infection? And does anyone know what the doctor could offer me other than lifestyle advice, I’ve had it 3 times this year (once after antibiotics).

I would recommend probiotics. For gut health while on antibiotics as well as your vaginal health. I personally find they work well, I notice a difference when I don’t take them (ie I’m wayyy more prone to yeast infections when I don’t take them). Look for ones that have a minimum of 10 million live bacteria (I get ones with at least 20 million) and specific bacteria strains in the ingredients (for example don’t get ones that just list Lactobacillus acidophilus, get ones that list something like Lactobacillus acidophilus LA85 - the bacteria strain with an identifying number/letter - this is a particular strain of bacteria). They’re going to be the best. If you’re taking antibiotics you need to be careful about taking probiotics, I think you need to take them a few hours after taking an antibiotic but definitely talk to a pharmacist and get their professional advice. I would not recommend having sex at all until you are fully sure you have gotten rid of the infection. Having sex while having an infection is only going to irritate it. It might be best to use condoms and not let your boyfriend finish in you for a while if you’re finding you’re having recurring infections. Even if you’ve been fine for years.

^ an old comment of mine but I’ve been taking probiotics for probably 4 years now and the only time I’ve gotten yeast infections is when I’ve ran out and stopped taking them 🤷🏻‍♀️

I used to get constant yeast infections and then I started peeing after sex and now I’m good
