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)
you can get cream for internal as well.
its a 7 day one. and you put some on the outside as well
and nothing wrong with grey
get a pessaey, cream doesnt fight the infection only helps symptoms
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.
I am glad it has worked for you
and the grays are still there
