Infections

[belsy]

Hi guys,

Just wondering .. Has anyone suffered with chronic infections ? For as long as I can remember I've had countless thrush, bacterial vaginosis, group B Strep and even vulva fissures. Is this common with endo? Thanks guys xx

I have endo and also suffer with recurrent vaginal infections (of bv, thrush, and strep A and strep B). I don't know if the two are related though. x

They thought I had BV, they did a swab, about a year ago, because I had discharge, I always have discharge. But they said it wasn't BV. I think I definitely have Candida, as I smell really Yeasty now and again. I am trying to eat more Bio Yogurt.. And I need to eat less Sugar. I eat a lot of Chocolate..

Hi Belsy this sounds just like me. Endometriosis affects our immunity and therefore we are at risk of infections.  I too suffer with Thrush I have cut down on sugar and bread and taking herbal supplements and immune booster called moducare. I know its so frustrating to deal with endo and the impact it has on our general health.  Strongs my endo sister♡

I get BV and thrush all the time. Not sure if it's related to Endo or not. But me too! Xx
