Thrush/ Cystitus

[jenniprice]

I've never had thrush before but have had cystitus.
I thought I had cystitus 2 weeks ago so brought medication.
It didn't work so after 2 days went to the doctor and gave me antibiotics.
After 5 days they hadn't worked and went back to the doctor who said I had thrush as my vagina was itchy.

However I've never heard of pain while passing urine as thrush, or is it? Or have I got thrush and cystitus?
My doctor did a urine sample and found some blood in my urine but said thats as was in between menstrual cycles so I dont think he believed me about pain when urinating.

Anyway I've had these symptons 2 weeks now and have taken every medicine possible. Anyone got any advice?
I've been on pill for 8 years so could this be a side effect?

I know probably best to go doctor but I'm scared..

Not going to a doctor could end up more scary though.

Why not go to a GUM clinic and get them to check you out if you're not happy with what the doctor has done or suggested?

You can find your nearest one on the NHS Services site...

If you have thrush you usually have a white discharge as well. I'd see your doctor again (or maybe a different one) and tell him that you're still having problems.
Hope that you feel better soon.
