I have just been diagnosed with severe, extensive endo. After 3 years of break through bleeding and thrush that was continually worsening I finally went to the gyno and after the lap was diagnosed. after my diagnosis I asked if this why Im getting the bleeding and thrush and they said no not necessarily. So I went in there to get answeres to my thrush and bleeding and came out with endo and still no answers! It has been about 2months since my diagnosis and I have still not stopped bleeding. I dream of the day I can wear my pretty underwear. Along with the bleeding I continually get thrush. Since I was 14 I have been getting thrush and it drives me insane! However I think it has been getting worse. I can pretty much gurantee after each period I will get it and also randomly, to give you an idea i have had it 3 times since my op (2mnths ago). Has anyone else experienced this please help.

Are you in pain also? I too had trouble finding treatment after I was diagnosed. I have seen many Dr.s,a nd the best one for me was a specialist at a womens clinic.
The medication treatment that wokred the best for me was Depo Lupron. I had an injection every month for 8 months. The side affects were symptoms of Menopause, but alot easier to deal with than the Endo so bad. With the injections, I also did not have my period. I have other suggestions for you if you would like. It's basically all trial and error though. Keep In Touch! You are not alone! Best Wishes Always

I had severe yeast infections and thrush for about 10 years. It was so bad I even had a gynecologist treat me IN her office she was so freaked out by it. I am CERTAIN it is related to endo, if only in the sense that your immune system is crappy.
I found NOTHING worked, over the counter, prescribed etc. Finally, I tried this thing called FLORASTOR which is over the counter and a super strong probiotic (stronger than the normal ones). It cleared it out of my system (yeast grows in the intestines and then you get infections vaginally). Now I haven't had a yeast infection for 2 years! Also, I had a boyfriend at the time who I think passed it back to me constantly, so if you treat yourself, treat him too (yeast can be passed back and forth). A low sugar diet helps as well, as yeast thriveson sugar.
