I had the same problem of recurrent yeasts for about six months last
year, and i would get them almost twice in a month. somebody on this
forum suggested that i try simple things like not shaving my pubic
hairs, using simple non-scented soap... and guess what? it worked! i've
gone for 4 months now without a single infection. for me, that must
definitely have been the problem!! try it.
