Burning
I sometimes get a burning, itchy feeling in and around my vagina. I have had thrush a few times and try to stick to all the rules i.e wipe from front to back, wear breathable, loose clothing etc but i still get it intermittently.
Could this be thrush keep coming back or could it be something else?

Re: Burning
Yes it could.... thrush need s to be eradicated from all skin folds including under your breasts, your belly button and betwen your buttocks. The cream can be used for this, and also ask your partner to use the cream.
I would also take a course of oral antifungals to eradicate rectal carriage of the fungus, use a vaginal pessary as well as the cream and watch the sugar levels in your diet.
