I have been diagnosed with vuvlovaginal candidaisis three times in the past two months by my OB-GYN. The first two times I took diflucan, and the last time terazole. The discharge and constant itching has gone away, but I am still having a painful burning during intercourse. I'm only eating complex carbohydrates and have eliminated sugars from my diet. I have been tested for thyroid and sugar problems and am perfectly healthy. I'm not using hormonal contraceptives. I wear cotton undies and avoid all chemicals in that area. I've tried all kinds of natural remedies and different lubricants during sex. I've tried condoms and no condoms. I'm a newlywed and haven't been able to have intercourse for a month because of the burning, even when no other symptoms are present. Why is this happening? How can it be stopped?
