Recurring yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis (BV), itching, unusual discharge, or a persistent odor are common, but they’re not something you have to live with. These symptoms often signal an imbalance in your vaginal microbiome, gut health, immune function, or hormones, and addressing the root cause is key to lasting relief. Antibiotics and antifungal creams may provide temporary relief, but without addressing the underlying cause, symptoms return. At Dr. Lana Wellness, we use functional testing and a whole-body naturopathic approach to identify and solve the root cause of chronic vaginal infections so that you can feel comfortable, confident, and in control of your health. 

At Dr. Lana Wellness, we help with:

  • Yeast Infections (Candidiasis): Caused by Candida overgrowth - typically presenting as itching, irritation, or thick white discharge.

  • Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): Occurs when healthy vaginal bacteria are replaced by overgrowths like Gardnerella, leading to odor and thin discharge.

  • Candida Overgrowth (Systemic): May show up beyond the vaginal area as bloating, fatigue, brain fog, or sugar cravings.

Common Root Causes of Yeast Infections:

  • Antibiotics or birth control

  • High-sugar or processed diets

  • Poor gut health or slow digestion

  • Hormonal changes (PMS, pregnancy, perimenopause)

  • Harsh products or synthetic underwear

Frequently Asked Questions About Chronic Yeast Infections

  • Recurring yeast infections are usually a sign of an underlying imbalance. Treating only surface infection without addressing root causes leads to a cycle of recurrence.

  • Yeast infections are caused by Candida overgrowth and typically present with thick white discharge and intense itching. BV (bacterial vaginosis) is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria like Gardnerella and tends to produce thin, grayish discharge with a fishy odor. Both reflect vaginal microbiome imbalance but require different treatment approaches.

  • Yes. Hormonal contraceptives can alter vaginal pH and increase estrogen levels, creating an environment where Candida thrives. This is one reason we often see chronic yeast infections as part of a broader hormonal picture.
