HE GAVE ME THRUSH

[Blankspacebabyy]

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

Oh ffs

A night of vigorous intimacy is quite likely to give me thrush, unfortunately. I always figured that introducing a foreign object upsets my nunu's balance, rather than it being passed on by my partner.

Grow up. He didn't give you an std. A chemical imbalance in either of you can cause a flare up of thrush he didn't necessarily give you anything. Be a grown up about it just explain you've got thrush after having sex and your out of action for a bit

Hi OP, I don't think you can assume partner gave it to you. It can be for any of the reasons mentioned in the thread. When men have genital thrush, it tends to be very visible. I don't think you can jump to conclusions. I have had thrush frequently in the past including lengthy periods when I wasn't sexually active.

I don't think 'he gave you thrush' as in he had it and passed it on. More likely the sex itself brought it on. I sometimes have issues with cystitis in a similar way.

For a while in our younger days me and DH were passing thrush back and forth to each other like a game of pass the parcel. Now, whenever I get thrush, we both treat it.

@QuantumPanic no, nothing, I had lots of swabs done incase it was a super strain of thrush or something else, but tests came back as normal thrush.
I had it chronic, it was awful, it started around half way through my pregnancy and took me around 3 years from then to get rid of it.
That was a couple of years ago now and I haven't had a single bout of it since.
I'm thinking because pregnancy triggered it maybe it was something to do with hormones?
Wouldn't wish it on anyone tho! I lived on vagisil, it kept me sane.

Flucanazole tablet from pharmacy plus Clotrimazole cream
You may have passed it to him so you need to tell him to treat himself too

It's not an STD. But he needs to be treated too. If you can't discuss thrush with him, you shouldn't be sleeping with him.

😂
Anyway op just take a pill and if it happens again I wouldn't sleep with him, men can carry thrush and BV

You rang?

Think you're thinking of TV, as men absolutely can't get BV.
BV stands for bacterial vaginosis. The vagina is an integral part of it.
And again, thrush and BV are not STIs.

Edit: and while men can get thrush, it's not as common as in women (balanitis in men is very common, and thrush is just 1 single possible cause of balanitis), and men have more visible symptoms (balanitis). Again it can be triggered by sexual activity as well as other triggers.

OP if you have thrush he may well have it too. A stat dose of oral Fluconazole or some Clotrimazole cream wouldn't do any harm (if no allergies).

Welcome Fanny!
What can you tell us on the topic of an itchy Fanny?

Did you use a condom?

Is this a thing?! You might have just solved something my Dr couldn't!!!!

😂😂

An itchy fanny is an unhappy fanny. Fanny also likes any foreign bodies entering her to be scrupulously clean and preferably covered as fanny does not want to be a crusty fanny. Fanny also believes that a wee bit of unperfumed soap and not just water makes for a clean fanny because let's face it, no one wants to smell fanny.

Was just going to post my similar experience - this happened to me too! It’s not the most common reason for thrush, but it happens more than you’d think.
