Question

Candida
Hi,
I have gone thru the postings on candida, but cannot find one that is related to my problem. My wife suffers from candida, and is now refusing to have intercourse with me. She says that it is I who infects her, and accuses me of sleeping around, which I am not. After intercourse, she says that it burns and itches.We have both taken oral medication, (cannot recall the drugs name), and she has also used a vaginal cream, which I also use. My question is, should I go and be checked by my GP, or can you recommend what I should do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I presume that she has had a swab and that it is definitely Candida. Cross infection goes both ways and it is difficult to determine which partner it starts with. It won't do any harm to be checked by your doctor.
