I Have Very Often Vaginal Thrush..it Makes My Life Difficult.. Posted: 11-16-07 16:49pm
hi, my problem is that i have vaginal
thrush (or colpitits, or candita) often..
i go to the doctor, i take the
prescription i do everything he says, i am
cured for a while and after i am again
infected.
I am not wearing strings or thongs, i am
not wearing nylon or polyester underwear,
I iron all my underwears, i am wearing
only cotton large underwears, i am not
wearing tight jeans..mostly skirts..i have
it even without sex, i have it also after
sex sometimes, i eat yogurts and stuff
like that, i am not taking other
medication, i checked my sugar level in my
blood, I am following my doctor's
instructions closely, i am not using
public toilets, i am washing my underwear
and that region with special soaps
(different for clothes and vagina), i am
very careful with pant liners..i think i
do all and if i think more i will remember
more..but the thing is that i have it
again and again...
my doc said that it maybe be stress..i do
not know what is going on..i am also
having test pap twice a year..it is
clean..
Is there anyone having the same
experience? any ideas???

could you possibly be allergic to condoms.
I have had a similar experience and
finally concluded that I am allergic to
condoms.

ive been suffering with this for years on
and off. the only way to completley get
rid off this to eliminate yeast and sugar
from your diet. (not easy) read up on
candida and your be surprised how this
yeast infection can get into your blood
stream and make you feel very unwell.
pesseries and creams only relieve the
symptoms they dont cure it and remove it
from your system. not all cases are this
severe and pesseries may be enough for
some. however if you get getting re
acurring attacks it might be well worth
trying the yeast and sugar free diet. i
succesfully got rid of mine,but due to
cravings for chocolate ect. ive got the
wretched thing back again so am having to
go back to square one! did you know
antibiotics can cause a flare up? always
eat plenty of live yugurt when taking
these.
only just joined this forum so hope i
havnt broken any rules in my write up!
apologies in advance if i have......sue

Sue,
It may be worth it to use probiotics to
help put the normal flora back into the
vagina. Your partner may be infected with
yeast and keep giving it back to you. He
may need to be tested and treated as well.

Birth control can give you candida
too...you didn't mention that you were on
that or not, so I thought I'd give that
little tip.
Imjustawoman is right: sometimes the only
thing left to do is to go on a diet
specifically targeting this ailment. You
don't have to be on it forever either.
Your partner can be spreading the
infection to you too, but not just
sexually. He can give it to you by even
kissing you, so it's important to have him
tested. Guys often carry, but to not
exhibit the signs of, yeast infections.

I've heard probiotics can work very well
if nothing else is working.

Dear amyamy,
I had the same problem as yours in my
first till the second year in the
university. I went constantly to my GYN
for a candida treatement. I was living
with a guy and obviously he took the
treatement too. Doctor told us it is
compulsory to have sex with a condom for
at least a month after the treatement
finished (said the recovery period could
be different for both of us) and we did
so. As soon as we stopped using the condom
and substitute it with the birth control
pill the discharge appeared again. The
truth was that he had sex with several
other girls meanwhile and probably didn`t
tell them about our condition (how
typical). So we just spread between
ourselves the candida over and over for
and year. Well I solved the problem when I
broke up with him and the funny thing is
that when I went to my doctor for the next
6month check up she smiled and asked me
have I changed my partner since everything
seems to be OK. I am married now for 5
years and I have forgotten the discomfort
of the candida, discharges etc.
One more thing - I suppose you are using
an intimate gel for the everyday hygiene,
not a soap.
I really hope the reason for your candida
or whatever it is is not the same as mine
was but if you think that what I shared
seems familiar to you... you know what to
do. I am wishing you best of luck and I am
sure you will get rid of the discomfort
soon!

hey girls, thnx for the tips!
The only thing I have not yet tried is the
diet! thank you imjstawoman.I hope it will
help, but when you say that you
"eliminated sugar from your diet" you mean
zero sugar? i mean that all products
contains sugar..even milk..I just checked
it, yogurt, bread, everything...
Also I have to say that lately I also have
blood mixed with the discharge..everytme I
feel some inching i check and I see some
blood..it was not like that before..i
asked my doctor, but he gave me birth
control pills..actually i see that doctors
do not really care..they just say sth
genaral and they send you back home..but
this blood really makes me worried..
Lately I also have a new boyfriend..and I
feel a bit unconfortable with all
that..(he is not the problem, since all
these symptoms i had before him..) however
he looks really sympathetic about
evertyhing..

Peanut allergy? Posted: 06-28-08 23:46pm
My sister suffered for years only to find
out she had a reaction to everything with
peanuts or peanut oil.
Check labels and eliminate all
peanuts/peanut oils (have to ask what they
use when dining out too) and see what
happens. May also want to have a total
hormone workup in the lab. Ask your
doctor.
