Question for womanly medical problem?

sorry to post this gross question
but okay, i own a recurring yeast infection
i have it about a month ago and monistat 'cured' it, but its vertebrae already. This time it's less severe so I figure instead of getting ripped off by the expensive monistat I'd try something unknown
I heard fluent cures like yogurt or garlic work better. So today I tried them (both) and i if truth be told feel WAY better, it feel like its gone, but obviously I probably have to preserve doing it right? Anyone know how long I have to save applying this? Have you been to the doctor something like this? Your probably just premonition symptomatic relief from home remedies and OTC treatments. Since it's continual you'll probably be better off going to the doctor and getting prescription medication than trying to treat it on your own.
in actual fact if it comes back again you may have need of ur gyno to call you surrounded by diflucan.. its an oral medication.. monistat sometimes doesn't cut it for me- but this finalllyy does the trick. for good.
