I keep getting 'nearly' thrush and if it is bad, take a tablet. Otherwise I try the avoidance techniques above. I am trying actigel and have used floraplus with no ill effects.
Any change sets it off - cervical mucus, period, sex, condoms, lubricant etc. If I am feeling pretty dry, it will usually come on the next day. In the past I have had swabs that have come back with nothing and antibiotics for vaginitis in case it was BV.
I have found husbands dermol can help with the outside symptoms, and have been avoiding the canesten cream after it made it worse.
I am hoping the actigel will get me over the blips.
