Thrush

[mrs.amillian]

I think I have external thrush.

I've brought some cream and drinking lots of water, cut out bread and sugar, I need to buy some pro-biotic yogurt.

Does anyone have any tips.

Everything I've read indicates the baby is ok and wont be affected but it's still worrying

I've just recovered from that, it was awful and the smell of yeast was too strong :/ (sorry tmi)
I uses canesten cream twice daily for 4 days and it went.

It's not smelly at the mo, just very itchy and v.sore I also have a few bumps.
It doesn't seem to be internal, but brought some Canestan 1% from the chemist today, so fingers crossed it'll work soon.

I've also sent hubs out to buy some Yauklt, hopefully that'll help to restore balance x

Try proper probiotics as well as yoghurt, yoghurt will have 1 or 2 types, a probiotic will have a variety of good gut bacteria and help you much faster.
This one is my fav:

if ur active with ur hubby he needs to be treated too...
i never got bumps from thrush on my girl areas...and i get it alot.

i get bumps from bv...which alot of times can be mistaken..
if ur meds dont work i would call the doc to be seen to make sure..

other then that it looks like ur doing everything right

Thanks girls xx

I had thrush once before when OH and I first got together and got the bumps and I thought he'd given me herpies we were both crying and upset at the thought, so went to the sexual health clinic and it turned out to be just a bad case of thrush, he's never ever let me forget it!!!

And I had BV after my daughter was born, and blimey the smell and discharge was disgusting, yuck. Very different no bumps xx I had to have a weeks course of anti-biotic cream

I'll give the cream a few days but if it's still hanging around by friday I'll book an appointment with the Dr xx

Oh hun I know how you feel. This is a common occurrence with me OH has type 1 diabetes and when his blood sugars are high he can develop thrush and then I get it so we both have to be treated with canestan cream. I think last year it was so painful I got prescribed the canestan with 1% hydrocortisone. Hope you feel better soon x
