Hello Darren, have you paid a visit to your doctor about that thrush problem? It won't go away on its own, and will get redder and ever more sore. When having thrush, the last thing you are going to be thinking about is having sex. Its too painful for a start, and you will cross contaminate your partner, and they won't be pleased! The chemist would have Canestan cream which can be bought over the counter, but just to be on the safe side, its best to see your gp, whom if he/she thinks its thrush, can prescribe what you need. Thrush is extremely common with diabetics and increased blood sugar levels. Hope this helps you.

Have you tried the Diflucan tablet & Caneston cream? Prescription does work out,much cheaper. But you can get the two together, just ask the chemist,for it. It's just one,capsule, & applying the,cream when needed. And No caneston isn't just for women. Let me know if you've tried it or how it goes, it is pretty fast acting.

Not what you're looking for?
