This has been driving me mad for about a year.
I've been to the doctor's and sexual health clinics many times, but they never find anything serious, thank God, they just diagnose the same thing and send me away with Canesten everytime, but it always comes back.
I'm careful not to wear tight-fitting jeans or use perfumed soaps and follow all that advice but it always comes back.
I'm at my wit's end!

do u just use the pessaries & external cream, or have u ever tried taking the tablets ? i had some problems with thrush after having my baby a couple of years ago, and i found that the pessaries & cream soothed it for a while, but the problem kept returning. i found that taking the tablet that u can buy from a chemist (pharmacy, if u are from the USA !), works a lot better. in the uk, Canesten do a tablet. failing that, i would try to do some research on the internet if i were u. i've had a brief look, and there are websites that mention long term medication, usually anti biotics, to treat re occuring problems with thrush.

See a different doctor. Have they taken swabs and sent them for analysis? Blood tests? If a woman between the ages of 16 and 60 gets thrush more than twice in 3 months then this suggests that there may be an underlying problem. Have they tested you for diabetes as this can also cause thrush as can antibiotics and some other medications.

Have you tried altering your diet? You could have some sort of food intolerance and causing the yeast imbalance. You should maybe go to see a nutritionist or do some research on the Internet.

I find natural yoghurt works better than canesten. Eat lots & put some on a tampon & insert. Good luck

Express your frustration with your physician and if necessary, get another opinion. Also, do your research. You may be surprised what you find on WebMD or other sites.
Good Luck!
