Non Healing Yeast

I've had yeast infections for years. Somewhat chronic since being diagnosed diabetic. I lost a lot of weight, and my doctor says I am no longer considered diabetic. With that said, I have yeast infections so often, I don't usually know I have them. I find out I have them when I go for checkups. I said all of that to say this. I finally have an ARNP that takes me seriously when I say I have Y.I. almost constantly. She prescribed fluconazole, 5 days, wait 3 days, then another course of 5 days fluconazole. My yeast is not only worse, my husband and I had Intercourse and I've been in pain ever since. What the heck?? Any ideas? Btw, I don't have much discharge, just itching, usually, but this time it's itching, pain, burning. I am also using vaginal estrogen for 6 weeks, to go on oral estrogen. I am post-menopausal.

Hello, Steph! How are you doing? Has there been any change?

While it isn't common, there is a chance that your husband also has a yeast infection and is passing it back to you, when you engage in intercourse, according to NIH reports, thus he may also need to be treated. Has he ever been checked out by a doctor to be sure?

Being diabetic and post menopausal makes a woman more prone to yeast infections, and it is very easy for one's partner to also become infected.

As to the diabetes, why did you doctor say you are no longer considered diabetic?
