Suggest Treatment For Thrush Contracted During Intercourse
my girlfriend has had thrush and i caught it by having unprotected sex. it seemed to go away for both of us by using the canisten cream but now i have it back after having sex again. she has been to get the proper pill for it today but would i need to take it too even though it only comes back when we have sex?

Hi,
Ideally both partners should go for oral anti-fungal medicine like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
If one partner is untreated then there is risk of transmitting infection to treated partner.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
