ABs are known to cause thrush
………. which thrives on sugars in the body. I had vaginal thrush when I stopped taking The Pill. Fortunately have never suffered with it in the mouth. To ease true thrush eating LIVE yoghurt regularly as well as using it, on a tampon, to insert as high up as possible, eventually this should kill the thrush.
When you say 'taking' Vagifem
- I hope not
. Also it is only possible to detect a urine 'infection' by a fresh urine sample being sent to a Lab. to be grown, to see if there are bugs present. This will determine which AB is necessary. Or not. With Vaginal Atrophy it is usually un-necessary to treat with an antibiotic.
Anyone who suffers with regular leakage should do as Taz suggests: I agree, it is every womans right to be dry!!!
