Mary J,
If you have genital thrush, this is more commonly known as a vaginal yeast infection. Thrush is usually described as a yeast infection in the mucus membranes of the mouth. Have you been diagnosed with a vaginal yeast infection?

Do your doctor(s) know the cause of this genital thrust/ vaginal yeast infection? Do you have a compromised immune system?

Have you been diagnosed with the exact type of organism (fungi) that is causing this infection? It is important to use the right type of anti-fungal medication to properly treat your specific infection; more research is being published that "one size fits all" yeast medicines and antifungal medications do not work for everyone.

If you are allergic to Fluconazole, has your doctor talked about another type of antifungal medication or antibiotic that you can use? (Again, depending on the exact organism causing the genital thrust/infection).

Please know that a chronic yeast infection can signify an underlying medical condition, or that your current yeast infection is not properly diagnosed and treated. Please see your doctor for a proper diagnosis, or seek a second opinion. Please also see your doctor (or, another doctor) to rule out any underlying medical conditions causing your infection/thrust to reoccur or become chronic.

Let us know if you need any assistance in finding another doctor, and let us know if there is any additional information we can provide.
