Your symptoms suggest a chronic recurrent vaginal imbalance rather than an acute infection alone which is why repeated antifungal and antihistamine medicines are giving only temporary relief Night time itching ,burning during urination and minimal discharge despite reports showing mild infection point toward local tissue sensitivity, dryness ,altered vaginal flora and hormonal influence which is commonly seen when thyroid and PCOD coexist.
Frequent use of antifungals can further disturb the natural vaginal environment and increase irritation so continuing the same approach will not give lasting results At this stage the focus should shift from killing infection to healing and restoring the vaginal tissue and correcting internal imbalance
You can start the following Ayurvedic medicines
KANCHANAR GUGGULU two tablets twice daily after food with lukewarm water
STRI RASAYANA VATI one tablet twice daily after food
PATRANGASAVA fifteen ml twice daily after food mixed with equal quantity of water
For local care Wash the vaginal area once daily with freshly prepared PANCHAVALKALA KASHAYA lukewarm Do not over wash or use soaps intimate washes or antiseptics
Strictly avoid applying coconut oil or any oil inside or around the vaginal opening as it can worsen burning and itching in sensitive cases
Keep the area dry wear loose cotton undergarments Avoid tight clothes leggings and synthetic fabrics Avoid sweets bakery items refined flour fermented foods curd cheese and excess fruits Increase warm cooked food vegetables rice dal and adequate water Do not scratch even if itching increases at night Ensure proper control of thyroid and PCOD as hormonal imbalance is a major reason for recurrence
If burning during urination persists do a routine urine test to rule out urinary infection
With regular treatment improvement is usually seen in two to three weeks but complete healing may take six to eight weeks Consistency is the key Avoid switching medicines frequently.
Start with Panchavalkala kwatam vaginal wash regularly twice a day Triphala guggulu tab 1-0-1 after food Chandraprabha vati tab 1-0-1 after food
Hlo,
I understand how distressing this is, especially when it’s chronic (>6 months) and keeps recurring despite antifungals. Recurrent itching + white discharge + night-time itching + burning on urination, along with PCOD & thyroid, suggests recurrent vaginal candidiasis with pitta-kapha imbalance, local tissue sensitivity, and possible vaginal microbiome disturbance from repeated medicines.
🌿 Ayurvedic Understanding (brief) - Kapha dushti → white discharge, yeast tendency - Pitta dushti → burning, itching, night aggravation - Rasa & Artava dhatu weakness → recurrence - PCOD & thyroid slow metabolism → infection keeps returning
Ayurvedic Prescription (4–6 weeks) 1️⃣ Oral Medicines A. Gandhak Rasayan Dose: 250 mg twice daily After food with lukewarm water ✔ Helps recurrent fungal infections, itching
B. Triphala Guggulu Dose: 1 tablet (500 mg) twice daily After food ✔ Detoxifies, supports vaginal & urinary tract
C. Avipattikar Churna Dose: ½ teaspoon at night With lukewarm water ✔ Reduces pitta → burning & night itching
2️⃣ Local (Very Important) Triphala Yoni Wash Boil 1 teaspoon Triphala powder in 2 cups water Cool till lukewarm Use once daily only (external wash, not deep wash) ✔ Restores vaginal pH, reduces itching
🚫 STOP coconut oil (feeds yeast in many cases) If severe burning: Apply Shatadhauta Ghrita or plain cow ghee Very thin layer, external only, at night
3️⃣ Diet Rules (Crucial for Cure) ❌ Avoid completely for 1 month: Sugar, jaggery, honey Curd, cheese, paneer Bakery, yeast foods Spicy, fried foods ✅ Include: Lauki, tori, pumpkin Moong dal Pomegranate Coconut water (okay)
4️⃣ Lifestyle Cotton underwear only Keep area dry Avoid panty liners daily No soap/gel inside vagina
⚠️ When to Re-check Allopathic Side Please get these tests once if not done: Vaginal swab culture (fungal + bacterial) Urine routine & culture Blood sugar (even if no diabetes)
Persistent burning on urination may mean UTI or vulvodynia, not just yeast.
⏳ Expected Improvement Itching ↓ in 10–14 days Burning ↓ in 2–3 weeks Recurrence control in 4–6 weeks

Hello Thanks for being so open about what you’re going through. I totally get how frustrating and draining it must be to deal with vaginal itching, discharge, and burning for over six months, especially with your thyroid and PCOD issues, and after trying so many medicines without lasting relief. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
YOUR CONCERN
* Constant vaginal itching (worse at night) * Some white discharge * Burning feeling in the vaginal area and when you pee * It’s been going on for over 6 months * You’ve tried things like Fluconazole, Allegra, Clotrimazole cream, VegacT (once), and coconut oil (which isn’t helping). * Doctors say it’s a mild yeast infection. * You also have a thyroid problem and PCOD. * Your digestion is generally good.
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
In Ayurveda, this sounds like Yonivyapad, which mainly involves:
* An imbalance of Kapha and Pitta doshas (body energies). * Issues with your blood (Rakta Dushti). * Hormone problems because of PCOD and your thyroid. * Your tissues down there getting sensitive and dry from all the antifungal meds. * Weaker natural defenses in your vaginal tissues.
This explains why:
* Tests show the infection is mild. * Medicines only help for a little while before symptoms come back. * The itching is worse at night (when Pitta and Vata are more active). * The burning slowly got worse.
BUT DONT WORRY
This isn’t serious, not cancer, and it’s not because you have poor hygiene. It’s more of a long-term imbalance, not just a simple infection.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW?
* Stop the itching and burning. * Fix the internal Kapha-Pitta imbalance. * Boost your vaginal tissue’s natural defenses. * Balance your hormones (help with PCOD and thyroid). * Keep it from coming back for good.
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
INTERNAL MEDICATION
1.Gandhak Rasayan: Take 1 tablet twice a day after meals. (Great for recurring yeast itching).
2.Mahamanjishthadi Kashaya Take 15 ml twice a day with the same amount of water. (Cleanses blood, helps with burning and discharge).
3.Avipattikar Churna: Take ½ teaspoon at bedtime with warm water. (Calms excess Pitta and internal heat).
4.Ashokarishta: Take 15 ml twice a day after meals. (Supports hormone balance and vaginal health).
EXTERNAL CARE
❌ AVOID
* Coconut oil (can make yeast worse). * Using antifungal creams often without advice. * Vaginal washes, soaps, or douches. * Tight, synthetic underwear.
✅ INCLUDE
Triphala + Neem Yoni Wash: Boil 1 teaspoon Triphala and some neem leaves in water. Let it cool and use it once a day only on the outside.
Jatyadi Taila (for outside use): apply little on the outside at night. (Helps with burning and itching)
DIET PLAN
❌Strictly avoid
* Sugar, sweets, chocolate * Baked goods, refined flour * Curd, buttermilk (especially at night) * Cheese, paneer * Very spicy and fried foods
✅ INCLUDE
* Moong dal * Fresh veggies (like bottle gourd, ridge gourd, carrots) * Turmeric * Warm water throughout the day
➡️ Seriously, these diet changes are a must for recurring vaginal itching.
LIFESTYLE AND HYGIENE TIPS
* Keep the area dry. * Change your underwear if you sweat a lot. * Wear loose cotton underwear. * Don’t scratch (it makes the burning worse later). * Deal with stress (stress messes with hormones and makes things worse).
PCOD AND THYROID ROLE
Your PCOD and thyroid issues are big reasons why this keeps coming back. If your hormones aren’t balanced, the infection will just keep showing up, and local treatments won’t cut it. Ayurveda tackles both the cause and the symptoms, which is why it works so well for long-term problems like yours.
You haven’t failed at your treatment; your body just needs a different approach that gets to the root of the issue. Repeated antifungals just weaken your tissues, but Ayurveda helps your body heal and build up its natural defenses. Please don’t try to treat yourself anymore. With the right Ayurvedic plan and sticking to the diet, this problem can be permanently solved.
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I UNDERSTAND YOUR PROBLEM AND THIS TYPE OF LONG STANDING VAGINAL ITCHING WITH WHITE DISCHARGE THAT COMES BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN EVEN AFTER ANTIFUNGALS USUALLY MEANS THE LOCAL AREA HAS BECOME VERY SENSITIVE DRY AND IRRITATED AND THE ROOT CAUSE IS INTERNAL HORMONAL IMBALANCE AND HEAT WHICH IS COMMON WHEN THYROID AND PCOD ARE PRESENT THAT IS WHY TEMPORARY RELIEF COMES BUT COMPLETE CURE DOES NOT HAPPEN NIGHT TIME ITCHING AND BURNING DURING URINE PASSING SHOW THAT THE SKIN AND MUCOUS LAYER NEEDS HEALING NOT JUST KILLING GERMS

Routine: - Sleep 7–8 hrs. - Gentle yoga: Supta Baddha Konasana, Anulom Vilom pranayama. - Stress management: meditation, mantra chanting.
Medicines Gandhak Rasayan: 2 tablets twice daily with warm water. (Specific for chronic itching/fungus). Chandraprabha Vati: 2 tablets twice daily (before food). (Treats PCOD and urinary burning). Khadirarishta: 20ml mixed with 20ml water, twice daily (after food).
External Therapy (For Immediate Relief) Triphala & Alum Wash: Boil 1 tbsp Triphala Powder + a pinch of Alum (Fitkari) in 1 liter water. Strain. Usage: Wash the area with this lukewarm water twice daily. (Alum stops yeast growth instantly).
