I am in so much pain with thrush-like symptoms and it is getting no better, it's been like this for about 5-6 weeks now. I went to the Dr who prescribed pessaries and Canestan cream, which I've been doing for nearly 2 weeks to no improvement.
However last week the surgery called with my swab results and said "there was no growth" - and then put the phone down! I assumed this meant it wasn't thrush? So what is it then?
I am also taking Vagifem pessaries to help with post-partum/breastfeeding linked low-oestrogen issues as was suffering with dryness and soreness.
I've had all the STI tests at the GUM clinic earlier this year as I thought it was herpes or something the pain was so bad (they also suggested thrush when I saw the nurse there) - but all tests came back negative.
I'm at the end of my tether and feeling so down about it - does anyone have any advice or suffered similar?
