Thrush issues after Hysterectomy

[Shelleymac2017]

Hi Clinic. I am wondering if I can ask a question about Thrush. I had a vaginal assisted laparoscopy hysterectomy nearly 10 years now. I havent been sexually active coming on 4 years now and have had quite uncomfortable thrush on and off 7 months now. I dont take any medication to be a side effect either. Nothing is helping ease this at all. Is this normal?

There may be hormonal reasons for the discomfort, so I would see you GP as it may need estrogen cream
