    Absolutely, nice to be a woman hey...

    It may be a bit swollen as well but if not, then it sounds mild.

    If.... you like natural approaches, plain yoghurt is great, if not, they now have a tablet and cream at the chemist, one day only it's gone.

      I just read a post about sex with a partner having a yeast infection.

      Long story short..."thrush" is teh result of going down on a female partner with a yeast infection.

      Once you get the infection in your mouth, it's then called "thrush".
      And "thursh" can be transferred to the genital area by means of oral sex.

        Well yes, note that "the female partner already has a yeast infection",

        So merely that poster is saying that "a man " can get thrush from a woman if she has a yeast infection...

        So, important to know as you both don't need to go through it, if you are aware you have it.

        Thrush is also caused by nylon if you are allergic to it, so always wear cotton, warm down there with tight jeans on, rubbing, for some girls in youth at that time of the month.

        I am not aware of any other methods but i am aware of the above three...

        Salt and vinegar i believe that poster mentioned vinegar but a hot bath with both in it helps immensely ease it.

        I believe when i was a teenager, the Doctor recommended this to my mother ( for me ) stating salt heals and vinegar burns, ouch, but it worked.

        Thankfully i am no longer a teeanger

          Hi...You can also get thrush from antibiotics( i had it once from them)...It does go eventually, and try to avoid soaps and scents down there when washing..
