Recurrent thrush

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

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

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
