I’ve had thrush a few times, and I know how miserable this can make you feel. It could be that your GP needs to test you further..for example your symptoms could be due to a general overgrowth of Candida, if so a change in diet (cutting out yeast and sugar, cutting down on carbohydrates) and taking Probiotic supplements could help enormously.

While 75% of women will get at least one yeast infection in their lifetime, up to 8% get more than four a year. They're called recurrent yeast infections when they happen over and over. If you're one of those women, you and your doctor might need to take a different approach.16 Feb 2019

😕 When self treating gets you nowhere, and a GP is less than helpful re investigation or explanation...

Logic tells you that something is causing these repetitive symptoms.. I mentioned Candida, did your GP mention this could possibly trigger symptoms if left untreated? Treatment is not only probiotics but also a change in dietary habits. But it’s possible that a different condition altogether is the cause.

This is because recurrent vaginal thrush is something that is often misdiagnosed by GPs, and women themselves, as the symptoms can mimic other vulval conditions such as vulval eczema, psoriasis and lichen schlerosus. Recurrent vaginal thrush is often misdiagnosed as symptoms can mimic other vulval conditions.10 Jul 2019

Can you get an appointment with a different GP in the practice, it’s widely acknowledged some have a better ‘bedside manner’ than others. Or, would you consider going to a Walk-in Clinic, I’ve done this myself when a GP appointment was unavailable.

Might be worth asking your GP and Lichen Sclerosus. Often misdiagnosed as thrush
