Just incase it helps anyone else.
I never had thrush my entire life but started to get it after I had the hormonal IUD fitted- after about a year of having it. It started off one in a while and ended up every single month I’d get it.
I didn’t make the connection initially and neither did the GP. They felt it was linked to my period and the change in PH. I was given a preventative course of Fluconazole twice - which meant taking it weekly for months.
I was tested for diabetes but still got the thrush every month.
I had my IUD removed and no more thrush!
This is just a post to help anyone who is suffering from recurring thrush and has an IUD. It might be worth taking it out.
