Hi all, I have been getting thrush frequently for about 4 years now (ever since losing my virginity to my current boyfriend). I have done three long-term courses of fluconazole and this cures the thrush while I am on the medication and for a few months after I stop, however it always returns. When it returns I am usually able to treat it using fluconazole before it returns again the next month. However, my thrush returned in October and it has still not cleared, I have taken quite a few fluconazole tablets and pessaries but it won't budge. I know it is definitely thrush as I had a swab taken by my doctor. For reference, I am 23 and have been suffering since I was 19. I have already been tested for diabetes and HIV, have tried lowering the sugar in my diet, have tried using multigyn gel after intercourse, have switched to non-scented pads and 100% cotton knickers and I take probiotics daily. Has anyone experiences resistance to thrush medication. I also know my thrush is caused by Candida Albicans as I have had this tested as well. Are there any other tests I could do to see why I am suffering so badly with this issue? My boyfriend is also treated for thrush whenever I get it. It is really impacting my mental health, social life and relationship so any advise would be HUGELY appreicated.
