Am I Having A Thrush?

I don't know if I got thrush, but got similar symptoms very itchy and abit sore. I went to the pharmacist, they gave me the thrush cream. After using it, the itching is gone but after using for a day, I started to get alot of white discharge and there abit of blood not alot when I clean my vagina with tissue. So I stopped using the cream. Help! Am i having a thrush or what? Should I go see a doctorr?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your symptoms requires physical examination to confirm the diagnosis, I would suggest you to consult your doctor for physical examination for proper diagnosis and treatment.

The history is suggestivee of fungal infection but it should be confirmed by lab investigation like KOH mount.

For your symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1. Keep the genital area clean and dry.
2. Topical application of anti fungal cream.
3. Oral single dose Tab Diflucan, 150 mg.
Thank you.
