yeast infections / bioidentical vaginal cream

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

I am hoping some of you may be able to help me with the following two problems:

1) I have suffered from a number of yeast infections over the past two years -

approx. five - and unfortunately pass the infection onto my husband who then

experiences painful urination & rashes. As you can imagine, this has put a real

damper on our sex life :<( We both use the otc canesten tablets/cream when this

happens; and I sometime use a prescribed medication called Terazol. I just

finished a two-week dose of terazol, but the itchiness is back again . . . and I

am worried that I will once again pass the infection onto my husband . . . who

just finished a double dose of canesten and is now ok. Has anybody in this

group had problems with recurring yeast infections and if so, what did you do to

stop them?

2. My doctor suspects my recurrent yeast infections has to do with thinning

vaginal walls caused by menopause. She has prescribed " peramarin " vaginal cream

.. . . which I believe is a " synthetic " hormone. Is there a similar

" bioidentical " vaginal cream that I could use to treat the dryness? My doctor

does not think there is one. (I currently use estradot & prometrium for bhrt.)

with much appreciation and thanks for any helful hints, thoughts etc.
