Reocurring yeast infection before period no matter the treatment

I feel like giving up because this is getting ridiculous. I had my first infection at the end of January due to using vaginal ring which I stopped using immediately. In a week it messed me up very bad, gave me my first and probably worst infection. It was treated with Itraconazole orally, probiotics after and gave me a 2 month break making me think that's the end. And I was very wrong. Infections started coming every month a 1-1.5 weeks before my period. The first two were treated with Fenticonazole. Still kept coming back no matter the probiotics. I went to my gynecologist, we did a swab - candida albicans, he prescribed me Nystatin for 10 days immediately after my period ended. Probiotics right after. It came back mid probiotic treatment, right before the period. Went there again, did another swab, candida albicans, not immune to any of the meds, sensitive to them all yet not working. At the same time I had bacterial test done and turns out i streptococcus agalactiae. He prescribed me Nystatin and Nifuratel to deal with both infections and Itraconazole once again orally since it worked the first time longer than any other treatment. Now I'm using probiotics, I am a week before my period and it feels like my infection is starting again. It's like it doesn't react to the meds at all or manages to repeatedly come back. I am slightly anemic but I am dealing with it, no glucose issues. I don't douche, I wear cotton underwear, limit sweets, drink enough of water, only use appropriate soaps for hygiene down there, I am not pregnant, haven't had sex in months I am genuinely running out of options why. I have uterus didelphys (double uterus, two cervixes and all) but it should not affect it. What the hell am I supposed to do at this point? submitted by /u/4ynev [link] [comments]
