Thrush

[lAsVegas18]

Hi, I'm aware I'm going to be told to go to a doctor, one I find it impossible to get an appointment and two ive asked them for help before and I'm getting nowhere. I have had thrush atl least 10 times this year. This is the worst I have taken 5 fluconazole this week and used two pessary. 8 days on and no improvement I've really had enough

Get yourself a gynaecologist appointment. Go into the doctor and demand a referral. Tell them to document it if they refuse to refer you. You can also get PALS involved, I think.

This isn't fair, you shouldn't be suffering like this and it needs elevating.

I know how you feel, I've had thrush since June they won't help me either nothing is working. Have you tried natural remedies? I found tea trea and proper solid coconut oil helped for a while, but unfortunately for me it came back. I can't fight it ether, I don't know what is going on shop Brought stuff isn't working, I've also tried many courses of fluconazole like you. I have found a that a bath with 6-8 drops of tea trea oil in warm water, like really quite cold compared to your average bath, then soak 10-15 minutes and it really helps me sleep better or take the edge of the itch for a bit each day.

Check first it is not BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS, then I would look at your diet too. Read up on Candida, look at your sugary stuff, bread, pasta and then find some multi high strength pro biotics. That is only thing that helped me. I also took some pessary probiotics too.

I regularly use coconut oil before sex as feel this strong anti bacterial action stop that causing it to flare up. And obviously try and get a referral to gynae if it carries on.

Good luck

Thanks all, managed to get to the sexual health clinic who have done lots of tests etc so I'm waiting on that at the moment

That would have been my suggestion.
