I've had a vaginal yeast infection on/off for about a year now. Initially, I went to urgent care and got put on antibiotics which cleared it for awhile but it keeps coming back. I've gone three times now. I would have white discharge coating my entire vaginal walls along with severe burning, itching, pain and discomfort.

All the following things I have tried help with the pain and inflammation in addition to reducing the yeast but it keeps coming back.

Boric acid suppositories Tea Tree Oil Intake of probiotics - Supplements and foods(ex: plain yogurt) Coconut Oil Garlic supplements Increasing my Vitamin C, D, Iron and Zinc Taking warm baths with ACV and baking soda Only wearing cotton underwear

I started taking a few drops of Oregono oil which helps to a certain degree (about 2 weeks now). I only seem to have discharge at the top of my vulva. There is still itching/discomfort and some pain, but to a lesser degree. When my discharge is wet, it is watery or grayish white. When it dries, it looks like a creamish yellow.

I was recently told by a few colleagues to try taking berberine, bleach baths, and maybe get tested for SIBO. I'm looking into all of them but really need help dealing with the pain and yeast discharge which has made me hyper-aware of my vagina.

This battle with has left me completely frustrated and feeling so terrible for the past year. Nothing I do seems to do work (for the long-term). I would appreciate any insight on this if possible.

Edit: if anyone is/has taken Berberine, I would love to hear your experience of it.
