Hi Dr. Jen. I subscribed to you because you’ve helped me understand vaginal health well. I suffer from recurrent vulvovaginal candida as a 21 year old woman with no other health conditions. It started a year ago after an episode of BV and getting a copper IUD (that I got removed immediately after). I do all the right things: cotton underwear, avoid douching/fragrance, only wash with water, etc… I’ve already undergone long-term therapy this year, and I am about to again because the infection returned. Is there any advice you can offer me, please? The gynecologists in my area are not super helpful. Please and thank you.
