Persistent yeast infection
Last year around this time, i had first gotten yeast infection in vagina. I would like to elaborate on background.
*I have been using menstrual cup since last two years.
*I was on antibiotics for almost a month due to cough.
*I was diagnosed with PCOS around the same time I got infection for first time.
Ever since this first time, it has not really gone away. I have not used menstrual cup since the infection first started.
My question is, how do I get rid of this continuous infection completely?
Is there any natural way to prevent this (that I can include in my routine) ?
Can I start using menstrual cup even during infection?
Is it safe to get intimate with my partner if the symptoms are not apparent?
