LS and Thrush
Posted , 8 users are following.
Do you ever get thrush with your LS? Having watched the Drs video and him talking about the diease being multi conditioned. I believe I have thrush from sex. I thought my LS had flared up with thick scaley white patchs and itching. But having watched the video it doesnt look like that and I dont remember my LS being like this. I had it under control for two years previous.
I am treating for thrush at mo I am thankful at dermo clinic tomorrow.
I just wondered if anyone had ever had this?

HI,
I suffer from the dreaded thrush every month :-( and have done on and off for a few years i'm beginning to think it is connected to the LS am going to ask my consultant when i next see her.
I started a specific pro-biotic last month so fingers crossed this will help
let me know how you get on :-)

Causes of candida can be many, a weakened immune system, too much sugar, overuse of antibiotics, and a few others.
I happen to believe that thrush and LS are strongly connected. I also believe that if you have oral and vaginal thrush for example at the same time, then your more likely to have a flare up of Lichen Schlerosus, I know other people have posted much the same on this site.

Thanks for the reply I have seen op many doctors over the years for Candida, and have had countless pessaries and oral treatments, which does clear the thrush up only for it to return the next month, i came off the pill as one doctor thought that could be making it worse. Another doctor has said its possibly down to monthly hormonal changes, and prescribed a 6 month course of Fluconazole, only for it to return after the 6 months. I have had a lot of antibiotics in my past for different things and I definitely think this has contributed to it. I have started the probiotic and i am trying to keep sugar out of my diet as much as possible in the hope I can get the upper hand.
I am beginning to think thrush and LS are connected
