Keep getting UTI's and thrush from sex with new partner, any tips?

[7khrs]

I've been sleeping with new DP for two months now. The first time we slept together, I got thrush. Then UTI then thrush again, then another UTI and now thrush again. We've tried having showers before and after. I've done a shower with no soap down below and tried salt in a bath after sex too. Gone to cotton underwear now too. What else can I do?

Unprotected sex? You could be allergic to his semen, rare but it happens.

Have you seen a doctor OP. Have you had a test for STis i wonder if he may have something like chlamydia and not know about it

Stop having sex with him.

I'd say get an STI test

Has he been treated for Thrush? If he hasn’t you’ll just keep passing it backwards and forwards between you.

It may be your diet rather than your boyfriend or sex life.

Too much yeasty food (bread, beer) and too much sugar in your diet will cause thrush.

Try eating clean for a bit, reduce the carbs, up the green vegetables.

And try douching with apple cider vinegar, it'll sting a tiny bit but it really works.

Also, have a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar every day. That helps clear out thrush infections too.

Has he been tested and treated? Aren't you using condoms? Honestly, I would dump him and move on.

We both got tested for STI and both got the text to say clear because we were clueless as to why this keeps happening. It happens with or without condom, so it's got to be me?
Yeah I've been tested and treated for thrush every time I got it.

I believe that some couples are simply not physiologically/biologically/chemically, (whatever), meant to be together. There is something about your boyfriend your system negatively reacts to. I had an old friend who experienced your exact problem with a boyfriend. No matter what she did or what treatment she had, she constantly got reinfected every time they had sex. As soon as she ended it, after 6 bloody months, it all went away. I would be ending it.

Yeah. But has he been treated for thrush?

He needs to also be treated for thrush at the same time as you.

Do you wee after sex?

Try treating both of you for thrush at the same time and see if it improves

He has thrush. If he has not been treated he will continue to pass it back to you no matter how many times you treat yourself. Both of you need treating. I'd also get some good probiotics.

Wee immediately after sex and drink loads of water. Had this with an ex as well and it’s never happened with DH - I think we weren’t compatible, but the wee/water routine solved it.

(This was UTIs, not thrush)

You both need to take the Diflucan tablet (own brand versions are available) and also treat topically with Canesten.

Theres really no point in you getting treated if he isnt. So for instance if he gave you chlamydia would you be surprised if you got it again if only you got treated and then you slept with him again?

This happened to me with my husband All of a sudden and it turned out that it was due the change in his semen after a vasectomy. Took months to right and I always seemed to have a uti, bv or thrush. Even now, ten years on, if we don't have sex for 3 weeks plus then when we do it's like my vagina has righted the ph to my natural levels and can't deal with the interference.
