Been with my oh 7 nearly 8 years our sex life was good up until a month or 2 ago. I get mild thrush now and again which is pretty irritating and itchy (sorry tmi) but it’s manageable and I can still have sex. My oh has said he gets thrush sometimes ( which he does) but it doesn’t normally cause a problem with our sex life. The last
Month or 2 he has kind of rejected sex when I ask/initiate and when we do have sex he says the thrush has got worse so when I initiate again he doesn’t want to. It is sore this time as I have looked at his penis. He has cream he applies but it doesn’t seem
To be getting better. I don’t understand it as I don’t actually have thrush at the moment I normally get it once every few months or so.
Am I being paranoid? I’m starting to feel
Like there maybe more to it.

You're passing it back and forth! You both need tablets cream/pessary and to abstain until your are both clear, I don't blame him for refusing!

Seriously? If you keep having sex when one of you has a bout of thrush you are basically passing it back and forth.

Of course he doesn't want sex if his dick is sore!

Go to the doctor together, get proper medication and find out how to stop recurrent bouts.

GO TO YOUR GP!

Yeah you need to treat it together. Did you not know he's probably reinfecting you?

Personally I would go to the GUM clinic together for proper testing and treatment. Then it's over with

He's not going to be putting his sore thrushy penis elsewhere! You really need to get the thrush situ sorted!

Rspu1384 · 14/04/2019 20:12

if you have thrush you shouldnt have sex until its cleared up, and that goes for both of you!

Honeytothebee · 14/04/2019 20:18

No sex until you're both cleared up. Go to your local GUM clinic or GP. Personally don't think he could be getting it else where

Bloody hell thrush is contagious! You are clearly just reinfecting each other! Once you have been to the GP you need to make sure you both treat yourselves and then the issue is more likely to go away.
The very idea of sex (especially unprotected) with thrush makes me want to cross my legs.
