Hi Ladies -
Canesteen isn't doing the trick. I get a yeast infection almost EVERY month. Nightmare. I have researched online and found out about a brand named "yeast arrest". Does anyone know if its possible to get this in HK? If not, has anyone seen boric acid powder sold around town? I could make my own "yeast arrest" if I can just get the boric acid powder and some empty capsules to make suppositories.
thanks so much! Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks Iwilltry, however I am not a beginner. I have used diflucan many times as well as canesteen. They don't do the trick. I also ALWAYS wear cotton underwear.

Yes of course I've been to the doctor. Some people are just prone to chronic yeast infections and I am one of the unfortunate ones. I have not been on an antibiotic in months. As I mentioned in my original message it happens once a month so my body's natural ph is responsible for this issue.

Hi,
I was allergic to Canesten and bled from it as a result. My doctor gave me another brand called Nilstat which worked a dream. Sometimes different products work for different people. Maybe see if you can get it here.
and.....I am not saying this because I think you are stupid, ok, but a friend of mine used a cloth/sponge when she showered and used it everywhere. She was wondering why she had a problem. The amount of bacteria she was "encouraging" was what the problem was - with that sponge.
Also in this climate it is hard with perspiration and heat. Baby powder on the outside before bed helped me. It won't hurt to give it a shot.
I hope you sort it out. It is such an uncomfortable condition. Good luck.
