Hello and welcome.
This is most probably a bacterial infection and not thrush, so please get the following done:
-Urine culture and sensitivity examination
-Vaginal swab test
-Blood profile
Also avoid sexual contact or masturbating, change your inner wear regularly and also try to up your level of hygiene in the meantime. Please try to visit a doctor at the earliest or write to me using our premium service for a more confidential discussion.
Best wishes.
