Have you been checked for diabetes? Too much sugar can also cause thrush, if I have a binge on a lot of sweet foods I always get a bout of thrush, the sugar feeds on candida.

Get some vaginal atrophy treatment 3 butler.  You don't need an exam or blood tests, a good GP will prescribe on symptoms.  VA mimics repeated urine infection-type symptoms really really well and may cause pain, low belly ache ..........

As oesrogen levels drop the body may become dry: inside and out.  As well as muscles may become lax.

When was your last period?
