I have recurrent vaginal thrush basically every month now. I take the tablet to treat it, it goes away and I have a period and it comes back and I just repeat the process. I have been to the doctors and been on the 6 months of fluconazole I didn’t get it while I was on the course but as soon as I had finished it came back. I’m on the mini pill. Could it be that ?
I’ve had recurrent thrush for nearly two years now and it’s really starting to affect my mental health. ANY help or advice would be much appreciated. Or even if someone has gone through something similar and would just share their experience.
Thanks all

I will join you on the forever thrush club and feelings round it .. I am also in pain to. I also take the mini pill so came to the same answer but the GP will not let me have vagina ring so I could not see if it is that ... I feel for you and can understand the mental health side. I am hear if you want to chat
Thank you. Yes I get pain too. It hurts so much that I don’t want to wear underwear. I’m going to speak to someone about coming off the mini pill and going on something else. If they say there’s nothing else I can have. I’m going to stop taking anything altogether and see how I go. I’ll let you know how it goes
They tell me the same I can have nothing else . I want a child so I stopped taking. Do let me know how you go . My pain is also with sex no idea what to blame that one on ..
I am so fed up of it ... I do get to gynecology but sadly with covid they canceled my appointment .
Yeah I have a similar thing. I can’t have sex because of it. Yes Covid is annoying cause I had booked into a private clinic but had to get cancelled too. It’s putting strains on relationship with my partner and friends cause I just don’t want to leave the house. I do feel for you. And no ones seems to understand us and get how it affects us
I get the same from the health professionals they do not understand . My Partner gets cross as I prefer movie night to a bed night ! I get cross with myself as I feel the same as my Partner but do not enjoy so I do not want to . Not being horrible when I say this but I am glad it is not only me at times I felt I was the only one and my Partner gets cross ..
Yes I feel the same. I’m glad somebody else is in the same boat. And cause it’s something no one talks about it makes you feel alone in this situation. It’s hard when you have a partner as it makes you feel guilty for something you don’t have control over that makes you feel terrible anyway
I know re Partner . I am quite lucky mine gets fed up so he doesn't want much love like that .. You can always private message me I understand and also glad I am not the only one . This week I am going to go back to GP for an examination not taking no.
I as an excuse to go need a sti test and I am going to say I need to see a doctor ..
