Recurrent Thrush

[User0207]

This will be the 5th time I’ve had thrush in 4 and a half months and I’ve had blood tests and the doctors confirmed I have no underlying issues causing the recurrence. However, it’s so uncomfortable and I expect it every month yet it’s only been two weeks since I last treated my last occurrence of thrush - I’m not entirely sure what to do from here.

I've heard yoghurt helps with thrush! Keep healthy too but that's all I know really, I've had thrush and just been given the canesten tablet to take!

I had the same thing, turnt out to be chlamydia, go to your local GuM clinic

Sounds very much like it doesn't get cleared up ever. Are you sure it's thrush? Could be an allergy? To any shower gel, washing powder or condoms perhaps?

Sometimes I have had to use pessaries daily for a week, plus the tablets and the cream. Go back and ask for hefty treatment.

Also all of the anti thrush advice... Cotton undies, showers not baths, no soap, no deo, no tight jeans, leggings or tights. And good diet.

Good luck

I feel your pain and I also feel like I am being brushed off! It is really affecting me and would go to say that it is bringing on my depression. Doc isn’t interested tho! 😥
