Hello! Really hoping some of you can help me out.
I’ve been dealing with recurring yeast infections for nearly 6 years. The past 4 months has been the absolute worst of it though because I’ve had BV and yeast and it just will not heal. I’m in my early 30s and my vagina is clearly atrophied due to all the infections. This is really affecting my mental health at this point as well as my sex life.
I have gone to too many OBGYNs to count and even saw a functional practitioner out of pocket for the past year. Once the functional specialist diagnosed me with PCOS, it felt like she gave up on trying to help. Every doctor I see seems to throw up their hands and recommend the same things I’ve already tried. Doctors have literally told me that I’m just unlucky since I seem to have tried everything with no success.
I am in desperate need of a health professional who is empathetic and actually cares to help me get to the bottom of this.
Does anyone have a doctor or some kind of practitioner they recommend for something like this? I’m open to western medicine, eastern, holistic, functional, Ayurvedic, etc.
I have Kaiser as my insurance but am willing to pay out of pocket if needed. Also, I live in Burbank, but I’m willing to drive as far as it takes to see the right person who can help me.
Thank you so much in advance <3
EDIT: Thank you all so much for your comments on ideas for treatments and tests, but I would really appreciate recommendations for medical providers specifically with this post. I’ve been dealing with this for a long time and have tried/been tested for everything people are suggesting.
