THE THRUSH IT BACK!! What am I doing wrong?!
« on: 21 August 2016, 04:08:46 pm »
Hello all!

I had a substantial period off work (and off BV/thrush), and after returning to work a few weeks ago I am yet again at the mercy of a thrush infection :3

My question is, what on earth am I doing wrong?! I don't use flavoured lubes/condoms, and don't wear super tight underwear and I just don't know what to do!

Any advice would be appreciated, it seems to be that during times that I'm working I either have thrush/bv or a combination of the two :3 Lucky, lucky me :)

Pxxx

Have you banned fingering? I find this causes me to have thrush and also if I use toys on myself.

I actually never thought of that as a cause! I usually don't allow it but theres always that one that decided to launch ahead without asking. That you x

It's usually uncut nails that either scratch the delicate membranes or dirt under their nails. I shudder when I see the state of guy's nails and am glad I banned it.

I always mention it at the start of a booking so they know and then I can move their hand away as I still get a few who get carried away!

Fingering could be an issue, but otherwise I'd try natural yoghurt tampons, or what I'm doing as an experiment, which is the Multigyn probiotic gels. Also try to cut down on bread and related products.

Only use aqueous cream to clean your vulva, and cut down strongly scented shower gels/bath stuff (Sanex Zero is good).

Yes cut down or even ban fingering. I can thoroughly recommend multi gyn gel (you can get it in tubes from major chemists) - more gentle but extremely effective. I find canestan too harsh irritating me even more than I am already if I have thrush.

Use non-bio washing powder. and make sure you rinse your underwear very well to remove detergent.

100% cotton underwear. go up one size have slightly loose.

get natural yogurt and insert some in vagina. and eat it.
ensure yogurt says Live or probiotic

I also tried to reduce number of clients because I found that too much friction was causing me thrust.

Recently I was still sore and have thrust symptoms after being treated for it.I spoke  to doctor at sex workers clinic and she said lots of women complain about being sore and it because our bodies are not designed to keep having sex. I agree with doctor.

Sounds like your infection has become a chronic one.

This can happen. When you use medications they clear the symptoms but you still have a very low grade undetectable one going on, ready to flare up. It's called a biofilm.

I had this with bv and thrush. I tried getting rid of all triggers and continual treatments of antibiotics for the bv and balance active. Still kept coming back.

My advice is to:
Go on a course of antibiotics for bv and anti fungal for the thrush.
Then a course vaginal probiotics (you can get them from boots).
Also buy or grow your own kefir. (A live yogurt drink) drink some everyday. For as long as you can.
Use balance active once a week to keep your ph balance correct.

After suffering for over a year, this treatment has kept me clean as a whistle and I've not had to ban fingering or stop having as much sex!

Are you 100% sure it's thrush and not an irritation to something your using?, I say this as I was totally convinced that was my problem a few years back, and both a GU clinic and private doctor did a full check down below, and it all came up negative for everything as well as thrush. 

I am very strict now, 100% cotton underwear, no scented shower gels, or strong washing liquids on my underwear, no washing with anything down below but water.  They told me that the medication that I was using for thrush had irritated me there badly as well making things much worse.  My problem has now gone.

Are you using latex condoms? Try switching to non-latex (or vice-versa).

Completely cut out ANY soap or bath products in your bath.

100% cotton underwear only. Go commando (knicker-less) when you can.

Try un-lubed condoms and/or change your lube brand.

Don't use ANY products anywhere near your vulva - including the exterior skin and bikini area - that you wouldn't happily eat/put in your mouth. This includes baby wipes, feminine wipes/spray etc.

Eat live/probiotic PLAIN/NATURAL yoghurt, also regularly insert some in/on the vulva/vagina.

Cut out sugar and yeast products.

Change your soap powder and fabric conditioner etc, and don't use febreze. You need something gentle for your undies, don't use anything that you wouldn't wash newborn baby clothes in.

Ban fingering and RO - the guy could be wearing aftershave or cream.


Good luck! I went through a few years back in my 20s where I was constantly suffering from thrush, and it took lots of trial and error to fix the problem. I rarely get it now, maybe once every 2 or 3 years? Can't even remember the last time I had it....anyway, hope this helps :)

15-20 yrs ago when I was early 20s I used recreational drugs a lot. Amphetamine and Ecstasy. I suffered from thrush a lot in those years. Cystitis was also an issue on occasion.  I'm not in any way suggesting  that you are using drugs. But when I quit using so did the thrush. I ended up going down the prevention rather than cure route. A tampon smeared with plain live yoghurt about twice/ thrice a week inserted overnight, every week and at least a glass of cranberry juice daily helped loads. Quiting drugs was even better!
Good luck! X

I recently got conjunctivitis (the second time) likely from punter's dirty hands touching my face.  I somewhat grew out of getting thrush or BV now.  But this conjunctivitis...tricky! My eyes got swabbed and I am waiting for the results..likely to be an infection caught during one of the bookings.  I roughly know which session which gave me this.   

There is no mystery in catching some infections if someone touches / scrapes off / digging dirty nails inside the vagina with unwashed hands.  Doctors / dentists wear gloves to cut these infections passed on or being given.  Symptoms of thrush could well be occult infection picked up during one of the bookings unless you have a telltale white stuff coming out.   Escorting can be a dirty / risky (literally) job with the proneness to infections.  This time, it was the second time and I was quite staggered.  I'm currently contemplating how to ask not to touch my face / hair with their dirty hands so rough during the sessions without hurting their fragile ego made of porcelain! !!!

When you have a bad thrush outbreak,  Use a solution of water modarately mixed with pure apple cider vinegar in a vaginal douche every morning and night( rinse yourself out with the solution).  After you done that, dip and soak a tampon in loads of live yogurt and leave it up your vagina for 4-5 hours each day (also you can spread a very Thin layer of the yogurt around vulva to reduce swelling and itching ).  Drink and hydrate yourself with alot lemon infused water and drink lots green tea,  this will akaline your body.  A healthy akaline body will have difficulty producing thrush/candia. Also cut down fizzy and sugar drinks and sweets.  Thrush thrives on sugar and turns the body acidic-producing more thrush.   After 2-3 days if you follow this routine and treatments,   the thrush will be gone without taking phamacuetical drugs.

For maintenance and to stop further thrush in future,  once a week Use the Apple cider vinegar douche treatment nightly before bed,  and yogurt tampon treatment twice a week before bed.  Also you can use balance active 1-2  a week to prevent bv.

Promise you it will work.  I haven't had thrush in years.

I was getting it alot, my now i dont since doing the following
Banned fingering
Use balance activ 3 times a week
Use pharma care sage and bark vaginal shower gel (off amazon)
Never wear knickers
Also lube inside before a client arrives.
Encourage more anal sex so that they leave my vag alone

However, i did get thrush a couple of weeks ago and that was from a bloody woman! She used one of those knew strapless stran-ons on me. The thing was so hard inside me, it felt like it was rubbing me sore. The next day i was itching and inflamed .
