can you have thrush and UTI at the same time?

[IdleGossip]

For about the last 4 weeks I have been suffering badly with a really painful/inflamed vulva area. It hurts when I pee and it is all just very red and inflamed. She swabbed me and said there was definitely thrush there so prescribed fluconazole. The fluconazole has helped but I also have strong smelling, cloudy urine. I have had loads of UTIs in the past so don't know what is going on, I have the pain when peeing but not the pain in my abdomen or back, no obvious blood in urine. I am also getting over some sort of sinus infection / covid thing, and have gone down a google rabbit hole and have convinced myself it's type 2 diabetes.

Anyone had similar?

Oh and to add - I have been diagnosed with vaginal atrophy and using Estriol twice weekly.

Yes, you can.

So fed up.

Yes. If I have one certain antibiotics give me thrush. It’s miserable

I;ve not had antibiotics for ages. Cannot shift the thrush though, and no idea what the cloudy, smelly urine is about. Atrophy is just shit.

It might be histamine reaction? Can give you intense itching and sinus problems runny nose from oestrogen and or lack of your own progesterone. And eating and drinking high histamine foods. Try and cut the food/drinks first see if it helps.

Anxiety and insomnia have been recurring themes for me through menopause. I have convinced myself that it's type 2 diabetes, and was awake at 5.30 this morning. Going to try to get a GP appointment for a urine test.
