Following my period, for the past 2-3 weeks I've felt quite uncomfortable down below. It feels like my clitoris is irritated, and the labia majora (sp?) too. Initially it felt a bit sore when I crossed my legs but has since become uncomortable most of the time - sometimes a little tickly/itchy, sometimes pressure feeling/throbbing around clitoris/top of VJJ (I get that feeling when I'm on my period too - but I'm not at the moment), sometimes twinges of little pains. No change in discharge and I don't have that insane itch that people talk about (never had thrush before so can't compare!).
Last Monday, assuming it was thrush I took Canesten internal cream at night and thought it would go away. It didn't. Friday I took Canesten duo - which is the 150mg Fluconazole pill plus external cream. I'd say I don't feel much different and its been 3 days now.
Do you think it could be something else? Anyone had similar symptoms or found Canesten just didn't cut it? Getting rather concerned now!
I'm currently trying to get a GP appointment for today to see if they think it could be something else.
As some background - married 5 years, been with DH 10 years and honestly, no chance of any cheating (I know STI's would come to mind otherwise!). Have changed washing powder/softener and have also stopped using any wash products around that area for past week.
