Hi there,

Just wondering why endo patients suffer with thrush more than others?

Its driving me crazy ive been battling it for 3 years, ive done the creams,tablets,yoghurt,special bath creams. Its getting to the point i need to speak to my GP just wondering if anyone has had this annoying persistant symptom.

Hiya,

I have the same issue! I normally get it just after a flare up but no one can explain to me why it happens.

I find the only thing that works is if I use the cream just after my flare, before I get any symptoms. It doesn't stop me from getting it but it's not half as bad. X

I too get this and from some of my own research I think it's something to do with our intestines and the fact we suffer with inflammation along with higher oestrogen. Don't quote me on it I could be getting mixed up I'm always reasearching about something. It's definitely to do with the bacteria not being balanced.

Thrush is so annoying so I just purchased some good probiotics so far so good try not to wear tight clothing. If I don't get thrush this month definitely the probiotics have helped if I remember I'll let you know if they've kept it away.

Have you tried BV gel ? They sell it in boots. And it has worked wonders for me on many occasions x

Omg I was literally going to make a post about this as it's driving me round the bend! It's what led me to go to the GP in the first place and only after nothing appearing in multiple tests and explaining my other symptoms did it point to endo.

As nothing shows up they have been of no help and nothing really works. It comes and goes, but when it appears it's really bad. Is it the same for you?

Think I'm gonna try the probiotic suggestion above and the BV gel ^ :) hope you find some relief soon too x
