Sensitivity to sanitary products?

a) Itching is usually an EXCELLENT indication of a yeast infection. Your use of the word "thrush" is technically incorrect, in that "thrush" always applies to oral candida overgrowth, that is, a yeast infection of the mouth, but you're on the right track: Same organism, same problem, different location. b) I doubt it's an issue of allergies to your panty liners, altho' that's not impossible. Always brand has been historically such a problem for women that midwives and gynecologists often counsel against the use of this brand. Is the fluconazole you used single dose? Does it say so on the packaging? I ask this, because I am completely unfamiliar w/ a fungicide that is single dose only. Candida overgrowth is a system problem that is all about your internal condition, and the state of your intestinal health. I doubt one dose of fluconazole is going to do it for you. Additionally, I would suggest you stop with the panty liners every day, and only use them when you have discharge. Many liners are made at least partially of synthetic materials, and that may be the problem: Lack of airflow to your vulva. I don't even wear underwear anymore, unless I absolutely have to b/c of this situation. If you do wear panties, make SURE they're natural fiber ONLY, ie cotton or silk. If after making these changes, you're still experiencing problems, you can be sure it's NOT the panty liners, it's your internal climate that's causing the problem. You can then do some research on how to cure recurrent yeast infections. (Here's a hint: You will need to massively supplement w/ probiotics, and totally change your diet, eliminating all refined sugars, and white flour as well.)

One last thought: Recurrent yeast infections can be a sign of HiV and of diabetes both. You may want to get yourself tested for both of these just in case, especially if you can't seem to get a handle on healing the situation.

I had some external vaginal itching, and it ended up being external thrush. It required an ointment from the doctor to clear it up. Also, make sure you're changing those panty liners regularly, as if you wear them too long they can give you an infection.
