question: I have had a persistent yeast infection for about six months. Have tried longer courses of diflucan, canesten creams and pessaries to no avail. I take probiotics, eat live yoghurt, and follow all the usual intructions to help the problem. Have had several swabs come back positive for yeast plus have had all the other tests for underlying problems but there is nothing. Am not on the pill and dont have a partner. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is really getting me down.
