Yeast infections?
Posted , 4 users are following.
i received oral sex a few days before i started my period...my period finished early last week and I've noticed white discharge over the last week...it was noticeably more today after exercise it's orderless and i do get the odd internal itch every now and then..i dont have any burning or discomfort during peeing or any other time. I'm convinced this is thrush can you please advise?
I do use tampons and no i havent had actual sex since January so I'm convinced its thrush

sounds like a yeast infection
get some cream to clear it up

Thank you, I was wondering if i need the pessary or cream because there is not itching or irretation or discomfort around the valva of any kind seems the ol yeast is just internally...so i think the pessary would work best?
see attached additional picture...i tried to get one of the inside (sorry about some of my grey pubes)

I think you were right... sadly after using the internal cream I thought id cleared it...i had my period a few days after and now 8 day off my period its either returned or just never left. I'm going to use a pessary and see how i get on but im now wondering is tampons have caused it?.
i change my tampon ever 4hours and am a very hygienic person so don't know what's going on.
i do exercise alot an

nope, yeast infections arent from 'cleanliness'. try keep it dry down there (make sure u dry after showers etc), dont sleep in underwear etc.. yeast grows in moist environments. it can also be down to sugary diet etc.. if u have a partner he/she could have yeast infec with no symptoms and be giving it to u everytime u sleep together. do a pessary for sure and if not go to doctors and tbey can test to see if it is yeast - u could have a persistent infection

my partner never has any success with the pessary, the cream works best for her
so I guess its what works best for each person

I got a pessary during the day yesterday and used it.
obv the large majority of the mess from it came out over night and this morning after i showered I can instantly see the difference.
(pictures from this morning)
I guess with these things no one method fits all hence why they are options, so for me maybe the pessary just works better.
Re keeping the lady bits dry, i sleep naked so dont wear underwear to bed and havent done for years. I do have a sweet tooth I'm going to work on that. I do exercise 5days a week and test to get extremely sweaty especially in my lady area but i have been like that for years, i do change out of wet gym clothes soon after exercise.
I appreciate your response, hopefully this time its really gone. I feel more optimistic.
