Husband vaginal thrush treatment?

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.

C. Husband is the user of the pessary and this could be a genuine medical reason such as an allergy like myself had above or even diabetes and maybe your husband could be worried and didn’t want to worry you.

A genuine medical reason like he’s suddenly grown a vagina?

No. It might be one of the many MN mysteries.

The intentional turning off of his Life360 location is pretty telling.

I’m invested now. Surely this has to be a wind up! All the ‘plausible’ explanations are quite bat shit 🤣🤣 how feral for any female to do that in his car.. but also how extremely weird for him to be bumbling around with it too…

has he been sketchy or suspicious in any other ways?

So OP hasn’t been back?

Greysowhat · 26/09/2025 05:53

What the story OP??? Did he swallow the pessary???

Seems like all the most intriguing ones aren't!

Still though, it kept me entertained for a few moments!

Not least the notion of the husband sticking the pessary up his bum! 😅
