if you are suffering for a year now, a doctor's advice is much more needed and to avoid worsen the case, never douch and do not use any hygiene products that are scented.

avoid using tampons, vaginal sprays or bubble bath.

i happened to experience this and after 6 months the yeast infection came back and it gets worst.

Garlic is a big enemy of yeast! This is one of the most effective home remedies I have found for instant relief. Inserting one garlic tab (such as Shaklee's Garlic Tabs) or a garlic clove into the vagina every few hours or as needed provides soothing relief. If you use garlic tabs, be sure the ingredients are natural and pure. I highly recommend the Shaklee garlic tabs. They are what I have always used with great results.
