Persistent vulvovaginal candiasis

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

20 year old girl. I have vulvovaginal candiasis that does not go away with medications prescribed by the gynaecologist. The symptoms improve but the infection recurs as soon as the medicine course is over even after eating a lot of yogurt and avoiding sugar foods. Suffering since 3 months. Read on internet about boric acid vaginal suppositories. Should I use it ? Is it safe? Is there any other recommended way to get rid of this ?
