Seriously, she didn't know what I was talking about which I thought was piss poor considering it's a well known (and well advertised), widely available product used to treat a very common genital problem. Then when I explained to the GUM doctor who was supervising her that I had vaginal soreness brought on by sex, like a graze up there, he seemed to think I meant soreness as in tenderness/bruising and poked and prodded me inside to try and find the bruised patch. He was even talking about possibly doing a scan to find the problem. In the end he couldn't see anything wrong and gave me a thrush pill to take orally just in case I had that. It turned out that quite simply I suffer from vaginal dryness and sex was making my skin sore (think friction burn inside), which was causing thrush-like symptoms. Thank you Google, MN and Replens.

...to expect a 3rd year NHS GUM student to know what a Canestan pessary is?
