A little of this for maintaining healthy vaginal flora might be a good start http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Fem-Dophilus-Capsules/dp/B0013OUK3E
Rephresh from the store is very very pricey, but you can buy femdophilus on amazon, which is basically the same thing, for MUCH cheaper.
The bathroom after sex is a big one. If she hasn't done this previously that may be where it started. Also, for the yeast infections start a targeted probiotic like this. This will help over time and should be a part of her routine until her PH balances, switch to scent free soap, laundry detergents, cut down on sugars, alcohol, really anything that yeast thrives on.
Remind her to NEVER douche, or even wash her vagina, it's self cleaning and these things further unbalance her natural PH.
More importantly note that this woman is having sex with you and it hurts her. Take a break from sex. Don't be selfish (not accusing you).
It concerns me that you're not phrasing it "what CAN I do?"...
That's my 2¥ on her health. She should also speak to a new doctor and research the topic independently. Reddit is not a place for medical advice. (Right?)
This is the one I picked: http://smile.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Fem-Dophilus-Capsules/dp/B0013OUK3E?sa-no-redirect=1
There are some that look really awesome that say vaginal suppositories right on them, but they're more expensive. With these, I used two pills at bed time for maybe a week or so, and since then I've just used one any time I start to feel itchy. You know that "Is this a yeast infection" stage where you know in a couple days it'll probably be the real deal? That's when I'd insert one just in case, and it worked well for years. I'm dealing with yeast now, but I think it's related to being pregnant and taking antibiotics.
I have read some things about certain kinds of probiotics being good for vaginal health. There are apparently a couple of kinds of good bacteria identified by researchers to be good: Lactobacillus rhamnosus, GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri, RC-14.
A product called Femdophilus contains both these kinds of Probiotic and, if the hundreds of Amazon reviews are worth a damn, works really well for some ladies.
Femdophilus
Good luck! I know how awful itching down there can be. :(
Happy to! This is what I buy from vitamin shoppe since I am paranoid the ice packs might not be enough for Amazon shipping sometimes unless it's fast and you double check how the seller ships it. The bacteria die if not kept cold.

Read reviews and search Google for more info first. I like that it's all natural and won't cause any wonky side effects.
EDIT: they're selling 120 for 50 bucks and if you only take as needed it will last a long time. I use it to "reset" my healthy Flora and it usually sustains itself until I make another change and my body rebels against me
Do you use toys? If so, maybe they are re-infecting you if not cleaned or stored properly. This was my problem for a while!
Another thing that really helped me was taking probiotics that are specifically for vaginal flora. My doc said that it seemed like my good and bad bacteria frequently got out of whack, & I haven't had yeast of BV as long as I've taken this crosses fingers
I second this. At one point I got a vaginal strep infection from a guy going down on me before he was showing symptoms of strep throat. Once the infection had run it's course I couldn't seem to get the smell or texture of my discharge to return to normal. I went back to the doctor several times to get tested for anything else and they told me I was normal. After getting fed up with no results I tried oral probiotics as a last resort. I was so skeptical I thought it was a waste of my money, but I had to be able to say I'd tried it before I moved on to something else. They made my vagina smell and feel AMAZING. It only took a few days and I noticed a difference in smell, texture, even some minor itchy irritation that I had just gotten used to went away. I was floored that taking a pill once a day could do so much for my poor vagina. The link is the brand I tried so I can't speak for other varieties, but holy shit if something so simple can fix her troubles why not try it?

Edit: forgot link -_-
TLDR: I highly recommend oral probiotics.
Try a probiotic like Fem Dophilus: http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Fem-Dophilus-Capsules/dp/B0013OUK3E
Has she been tested for bacterial vaginosis? It cane seem like a YI when it's really BV.

She can also try fem dopholus which is probiotics for females. Its supposed to help encourage her natural good flora to grow to keep away the bad.
