HE GAVE ME THRUSH

Hmm, I kept getting it with my partner… we weren’t seeing each other much and it was literally every time we had sex. The pharmacists I saw said it could easily be passed back and forth between partners and we should both be treated. When he had the fluconazole pill I didn’t get it again. He was also prone to thrush in the mouth… not sure it’s related. But pretty sure you can get it from a partner, but yes, it may just have been the friction or whatever itself.

You probably just got thrush as a result of having sex. Stop overreacting. But of course you can tell him you aren't up for sex for any reason - you can choose to tell him you have thrush or not up to you.

I know this is so funny but please help, why are men like this lol

Why are men like what?

And no it's not funny

I got it relentlessly when I was on a specific contraceptive pill. Bloody awful - you don't necessarily catch thrush from someone - it can just happen!

You should definitely warn him you have thrush to protect him.

I thought I was getting thrush from sex because it kept occurring. Eventually I realised I was actually having an allergic reaction to lube! Stopped using it, problem solved.
Agree with pp, it’s rare to catch thrush. If you’re in an adult relationship, just talk to him about it though.

Have you been on any antibiotics? Thrush can be a side effect of those.

I am also careful down there and I had it continuously for 3 years after giving birth, so much so that I had a long term prescription to use the pessary every week to prevent it. I was getting it at least twice a week for at least 3 years, it would go away then 2 days later it would come back. It went in the end but that was a really miserable mystery for me. Partner didn't have it, I never slept with him because of the thrush so I couldn't have kept on catching it from him.
This shows tho that we can just get it. You probably got it because of having sex. Hadn't you had sex in a while?
I highly doubt he'd of had it/gave you it, he would have known he'd had it, it's more obvious for guys than it is for women.

Oh come on, men can be hopeless in many ways but saying "why are men like this" over thrush is a bit unfair, it's not like he's knowingly given you the clap or something. He probably didn't "give" it to you at all, just having sex can bring it on.

Just tell him the truth. You can do other things that aren't PIV, or just tell him you're not up for anything. If he's a keeper he'll be fine with it.

HE GAVE ME THRUSH

Why shout?!

Unlikely he gave you thrush. Sex will give you thrush though!

Having sex is most likely what gave you thrush, not him!

Oh, and I hadn’t had thrush in years. I recently changed my mini pill brand and developed it. Literally can come from anywhere at anytime.

Come on, it’s not likely to be fatal. He might well not even have “given” you it himself, in that he had thrush and passed it on: it’s often just the act of sex that brings it on whoever the partner is.

Get to a chemist, get that flucanozole tablet that magically cures it in a couple of days plus some cream for soothing if it’s particularly itchy or uncomfortable, and don’t let it affect your view of him. It’s really not his fault!

Thrush can just happen it's not necessarily true that he gave it to you.
The act of having sex gave you thrush

How do you think he gave you thrush? It could have happened for many reasons, the condoms used, irritation from not having sex for a while, just a bad coincidence… I’m not sure why you think it’s ‘him’ specifically.

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.
