I've had a similar situation to yours in the past, not as drastic, but recurring yeast infections that wouldn't go away. And I got the first one from antibiotics for a UTI. Don't bother with the over the counter meds like monistat, you're likely only going to waste money, those are likely not strong enough for your situation. Ultimately what killed mine was a combination of things - taking a few cranberry pills every day, eating at least one thing of yogurt everyday, taking some AZO yeast everyday, and taking baths with baking soda, sounds weird, but it actually really works! It's annoying as hell and takes some time, but be patient with your body and it'll clear itself up in time. In the meantime, it might be best to avoid any heavy sexual activity as that only aggrevates the area more. Also, be sure to pee after you have sex, it helps clean out your vagina and reduce the risk of UTIs and yeast infections. And like others have mentioned, there are quite a few similar threads in this forum already, please use the search function and check those out as well.
