I have had at least 8 yeast infections in my life time. I have been told that is quite a lot compared to the average woman. It seems to happen about 2 times a year and I am really starting to cry every time I experience those yeast infection symptoms. I wonder if the infection ever really gets cleared up or is it partially cleared on the over the counter medication and then comes back again. It is time to check with the doctor because it may just be that I need a stronger medicine to knock this infection out for good!
