Husband vaginal thrush treatment?

[Laurawhitty94]

Hi all, wondering if you can help me with this…
I haven’t spoken to him about this yet because I’d like to actually know what you guys would do because I am rather impulsive and I am a little dramatic as well.

This morning I went to my husbands car to grab some ibuprofen out of his glove box ,I knew he had some because he keeps it for the gym and things. However I found a used vaginal thrush pessary (the rubbish) in the glovebox.

I haven’t had thrush recently. He hasn’t mentioned having it and that’s exactly the type of thing he would mention to me ,he’s not shy or anything but also why would he use a vaginal thrush medicine anyway? It was the combo one , the cream and the pill kind.

I'm very confused and anxious. Could it be that he is seeing a woman or am I jumping the gun ? Why on earth would he have that in his car and am I wrong to have looked in the glove box without telling him I’m gonna go to his car ?

How do I bring this up exactly with him.
We also have the life 360 app for the kids and he has had his location off for weeks now and I just assumed he had location off in general but now I’m thinking maybe he could be seeing someone ?

I don’t know. Please let me know what you’d say and do. Am I being dramatic or could this be a clue that he’s cheating which I’m kinda feeling like it is right now.

Pessary?

Op you sau there was a used pessary. A thrush pessary dissolves . Do you mean applicator?

sometimes those thrush treatments come in duo packs with a cream and a pessary. Is it possible he used the cream himself (like for irritation or fungal rash) and just chucked the pessary without thinking? Might be a silly explanation, but worth asking before assuming the worst.

Besides who would use a pessary in the car and also have sex? Doesn’t make sense

A prostitute is my thought. I'd get checked for stds

This.

Some of you are just bonkers 😆

Men are often very curious about vaginas and how stuff works. He probably had a play around with it.

Personally I’d switch his location back on, and take a good look at credit card and bank statements, in particular cash withdrawals. My ex’s affair partner left her knickers at the side of the bed for me. (Yes, I got rid of him ).

Anyone who would insert a vaginal pessary this way is asking for a pelvic infection. I cannot think of any situation where it would be necessary to do this is a car.

Are you sure this is what it is?

What is the brand name on the packaging?

I don't think any prostitute is inserting her thrush pessary in a client's car!

Is he daft enough to not know what a pessary is, think it's like an applicator tube of cream? Open it up and realise and he's binned the pessary but not the applicator thing?

It's either that or an affair or a very odd fetish. Fetish is a possibility, some men like sticking all sorts up their bum!

Agreed! You would definitely leave something more glamorous if that was your plan & definitely wouldn’t use that cream/pessary in the car. Crikey!

🤣🤣

The other woman could have left it there to stir up trouble?

I thought that was an entirely sensible post! 😀

I once went out with a guy who didn't know that women used toilet paper after a wee! He definitely wouldn't have know what a pessary was for.

Personally I wouldn’t say anything yet, I would be checking car and gym bag for a burner phone then I’d be going through his phone (also turning location back on) if nothing comes of those and I’m still stumped then I’d be asking him about the pessary stick

You could ring a pharmacy and ask if there is any reason a man would be given this. Eg any condition.
Only thing I can think of is if he was putting it up his butt, and the possible reason being an affair with a man....

Thrush is NOT an sti.

However he is either having an affair or seeing an escort of some kind. I am going by the fact his whereabouts is unknown weekends recently. He is clearly up to something.

Or he could be sleeping with a man as many husbands are secretly bicurious/bisexual. I am going by general knowledge here.

If he was into bum sex it is very unlikely he would use use a thrush applicator. He would use a dildo by the escort/woman or the other man wd penetrate.

Maybe he had an itchy bum and thought the pessary would sort it 🙈

I did know someone at uni who accidentally bought the pessary to use on athletes foot. He didn’t know what the word pessary meant 😂😂 he ended up offering it to any of the girls on our floor in halls

Goodness me, reading and comprehension are a lost art it seems.

Most likely explanation is that he needed the cream, accidentally bought the combo. When he saw the blister pack he popped it thinking it was part of the treatment. Once he realised it wasn’t he chucked it away and kept the cream.

Occam’s razor and all that.

Find My often kicks one of my family off and they have to reshare location. They don’t realise they’re not sharing until someone is looking for them and tells them the location is off. These things happen.

We don't actually know what the cream is as OP hasn't told us the name of it !

We need a diagram of the "applicator" as well.

DH has in the past bough pessaries when he wanted cream for fungal skin conditions. Because he saw the brand "canesten", knew that's what he wanted and just grabbed the pack without thinking/reading. He thought the blister pack with the pessary was just another way to dispense the cream.

I wouldn't immediately leap to "affair" as inserting a pessary in the passenger seat of someone's car is weird.

Why would anyone need to apply it the car though!!! The whole thing is mad.
