Suggest Treatment For Oral Thrush
Question: Hi, I got diagnosed with thrush and I've being taking tablets for it and it worked , but now I've got oral thrush and the fishy smell has come back , even worse is it possible to have both at the same time
Brief Answer:
It is possible to have both.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Oral and vaginal thrush both can happen at the same time. Recurrence is also common if proper treatment is not taken.
You have to eliminate certain predisposing factors for recurrence like:
1) Diabetes by doing one blood sugar (PPBS) test.
2) Recent change in sexual partner or having multiple partner, presence of any type STD.
3) Using any contraceptive pill/ Cu-T (IUD), douching or inserting any foreign object.
4) Concurrent practice of vaginal and anal intercourse in alternate way during same session.
5) Other co-existence factors- irregular diet habit, psychological factor, hormonal imbalance, non-maintenance of genital hygiene during period, cervicitis/ atrophic vaginitis etc.
It may be aggravated by using chemical substance like lubricant/ jelly with condom or soap/ detergent/ other bath products, causing repeated friction & irritation inside vagina. Proper treatment of partner is also needed.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
