went to pharmacy and the pharmacist hadn't turned up. So have been to tescos and purchased a canetest & the creams on assumption i have thrush. I've never had thrush, so a guess.
I: have a graze/cut on my inner lips that initially caused me pain as urine stung it when i went, which drew my attention. Upon looking I seemed a bit redder than usual but graze likely I assumed caused by sex/wiping as happens occasionally - this may or may not be relevant but i note some online stuff says thrush may cause swelling/dry cracks etc so could be. I can only see one significant although it admittedly feels like my vag has been attacked by a thousand claws of tiny kittens.
It does not sting when i actually pee.
I don't have any noticeable discharge and I don't smell
I do however, feel sore. Dry like sandpaper and occasionally an intense vulvar itch.
The test says that if it turns at all green or blue, which mine did however only v v tiny amount, that the PH is out and then you refer to a symptom chart.
Problem is, i don't match. For thrush i match symotoms except for dishcharge but it says the test will stay yellow (negative) if it is too.
Green / blue is positive for increased pH, and the chart says BV or trichomoniasis, but I don't match any of those symptoms (no discharge, smell, or painful urination)
Can't get hold of GP to check.
So. Do I whack the cream for thrush on and hope for best!?!?!
Sorry. Not sure where else to ask!
Incase it's at all relevant: I've been on low carb/keto for around 4 months.
