Ok so I know you shouldn’t self diagnose and see a dr etc... however I find I am being fobbed off and this issue has been ongoing since January.

I have been suffering from vaginal soreness to the point where it’s msking me bleed although I’ve always had random spotting even prior to this.

My vagina feels so sore and swollen. The drs kept saying it was thrush but all my swaps have come back clear and it’s not an STD. I saw a dr last week and said that it might be dermatitis but the pain is internal. I was prescribed a potent steroid cream but it says external use only and I feel it’s made things worse.

It’s worse if I drink a lot of sweet or sugary drinks like orange juice so I avoid these and make sure I drink enough water. I also don’t use anything “up there” like soaps of bubble bath etc

To make things more complicated I am 25 weeks pregnant which isn’t helping

Please help :( it’s really stressing me out

You poor thing. I wonder if it is anything to do with the hormonal changes of pregnancy.

I wouldn't put steroid cream there. Wash gently with lots of clean water and use a feminine wash and a fem lubricant. You'll probably find it gets better in no time.

For now Flowers.

Don't use soap exactly there. Only wash with water, plus soap/shower gel at the front.
