I have a recurrent Candida problem and have tried everything - maintenance therapy with Diflucan, the progesterone only contraceptive pill, estrogen treatments. One doctor said that this problem is usually resolved with pregnancy. Is this true? What can I do?
Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor.pregnancy do not cure Candida infection. There are many species of Candida and all are not pathogenic. Some Candida SPP. Can be present in genitalia of some woman without causing any harm in a communal form. What problem you are having with this organism as it is yeast like fungus and require long treatment and some precaution for complete cure. Hormonal pill only maintain vaginal pH normal but don't have any effect on Candida. Diflucan is an oral tablet, but it is better if you treat infection locally. You can use Myostatin vaginal tablet 2 tabs daily in vagina for 2 weeks. Maintain hygiene of genitalia. Usually such type of infections are mixed infection so go for microbiological examination for vaginal discharge and review me so that I can suggest you further treatment .hope you are satisfied with my answer.  Feel free to communicate if any query.regards, Chat Doctor.
