I have been having fairly regular bouts of thrush ever since I had my last baby 5 years ago. I have been to the GP and the last time she suggested I take probiotics and make a note of at what stage in my cycle it happens.
The difficulty is that it often occurs within a day or two of having sex. Like lots of married couples we aren't at it all the time, but I do think we are lucky in that when we do get around to it we have a great time. In fact our sex life has been getting better and better as time goes on, but I pay for it with days of discomfort. I don't really understand why there's a connection between sex and thrush - it's not as if dh is being rough with me. This last time was so sore and I was even slightly bleeding (I did say it'd be tmi!).
What can I do and why does it happen after sex?
