Can a hormone imbalance cause thrush?!
Question: Can a hormone imbalance be a cause of recurrent thrush? For the past couple of years I've been plagued by thrush that keeps coming back after my monthly period and I am now on a two month intravenouscourse to try and blast it out my system. But I'm just wondering if a hormone imbalance can cause thrush and if that may be the reason I keep suffering from it?
Does anyone know? Help, thanks Kate x

It can be hormonal, most likely to be stress. Try some meditation class, they helped me.
yes it does.
i dunno
It can make you more apt to get it, but it doesn't cause it. Thrush is an oral yeast infection, which is caused by bacteria.

It's clearly a risk factor. I discovered some time back that my hormones were off (I'm male) using testmyhormones.com (cheaper/faster than going to my doc), but there are many ways you can check them. Good luck.

I don't know about the hormone imbalance, but I am on a long-term course of antibiotics for a skin rash and the doctor told me that would make me more suseptible to thrush, which is a yeast infection.

Good luck!
If you haven't, you should check around on the medical web sites like webmd or mayo clinic etc... and see what they say. good luck
Yeah, and it's all to do with the PH in your vagina, meaning when you get your period it can keep coming back because the blood wrecks your vaginal PH same with sperm and stuff too!
A woman who had been helped with her hormone imbalance symptoms by using natural progesterone cream told me she seemed to be having a relapse of her acne. I began reading a book by William Crook, M.D., THE YEAST CONNECTION AND THE WOMAN, and was fascinated, by what I read.

There has been research into this ailment in recent years, but as with hormone imbalance, many in the medical profession are uninterested in checking out causes for common illnesses. They choose to treat symptoms, instead.
Yeast infections get a foothold in the body when antibiotics are used which kill not only bad bacteria, but also kill the
