Page 3 | HE GAVE ME THRUSH

If you’ve used condoms and those had scent/flavor/heat/tingle any sort of “extra” quality to them, that probably is the culprit.

I would think that the poster is assuming that it the thrush could not be passed on if a condom was used?

Ah yes, of course. I was being a bit silly there 😂

Does he take steroid inhalers for asthma? These can cause oral thrush, and I guess he could have passed it on to you through oral sex.

Yes this is true actually!

ChocolatePodge · 11/07/2024 18:33

Oral route is likely too, more info on men with thrush 🤣www.nidirect.gov.uk/conditions/thrush-men

It’s highly unlikely he gave you thrush. Potentially the condom (if you used one) or if he had just washed his shower gel could have.

(I used to get thrush from a specific brand of condom so stopped using that brand)

Despite all the comments here I had a similar experience years ago, I tried flucanozole only for it to reappear after our next encounter. We both had to take a pill at the same time to finally knock it on the head

Where does it say they didn't use condoms?

I doubt he gave you thrush. But if you are that worried about infections being passed on why didn't you use condoms?

I'm incredibly cautious of my downstairs not that cautious if you didn't use condoms!

Thrush used to be called the honeymoon cystitis because it occurred when virgins on their wedding night and honeymoon were subjected to frequent sexual inter side resulting in thrush. Friction, heat, etc.

It's not something dirty.

No it didn't. Honeymoon Cystitis refers to a UTI.

ButWhatAboutTheBees · 11/07/2024 18:16

Thrush is one of those annoying "urgh men don't have to deal with this" things

I got it after using antibiotics

You can't blame him

It's not a "Why are men like this" occasion

Oh thanks guys I didn't know this. We had sex like 3 times in one night so maybe it's just from irritation? I've told him I'm on my period as don't wanna gross him out so early on

Yeh sounds like it was the sex and not him

I doubt very much he gave you thrush. Men rarely have penile thrush, it’s a fungal infection and doesn’t like dry bare skin like a penis, it likes moist warm nooks and crannies like a vagina.

Treat yourself and avoid sex until you feel more comfortable.

Hilariously phrased - petition to make "nook and cranny" the new cockney rhyming slang for vagina 😂

Maybe you've given him thrush 😱

Hateam · 11/07/2024 17:52

Why are women like this?
Calm down.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 11/07/2024 17:50

Very unlikely he gave it to you. It was probably the friction that caused it. It happens to me if I haven't had sex regularly.

Most mild thrush goes away after a day or two. If not, over the counter medication will sort it.

Use lubrication next time!

Been seeing a guy for a while and we slept together for the first time on Tuesday night.
Today, I have thrush. I'm not prone to it and have only had it once or twice in my life. I'm incredibly cautious of my downstairs and I only wash with water and wear cotton knickers and nothing tight so I can't see it being caused by anything else.
I'm meant to be seeing him tomorrow and guaranteed he's going to try it on with me. What am I meant to say? sorry we can't have sex you gave me thrush?
Should I tell him? Should I lie and make up a reason? Should I end it based on this?
I know this is so funny but please help, why are men like this lol

great user name ! lol

Outliers · 11/07/2024 17:42

Did you have sex without a condom?

It's possible he applies some sort of moisturiser directly onto his penis, which throws your pH off balance.

McConkeysPlate · 11/07/2024 17:30

You need to tell him, you are both likely to need treatment

KreedKafer · 11/07/2024 17:29

Calm down. It’s thrush, not syphilis

Agapornis · 11/07/2024 17:27

Did you go for a wee after? Was there sufficient lubrication? It isn't classed as an STI, and the vast majority of cases aren't caused by penile thrush.
