thrush

That was my first thought, but there's no discharge? Is there always? I have just been on a period for over a fortnight (change of pill, argh) and wondered if I could have made myself sore with so many tampons!

(yeah yeah, I know, should have used a mooncup!)

Yes - thrush. Drink plenty of fluids and get yourself to the chemist for some Canesten Cream. If you've got natural yogurt at home you could slap some of that on!

Hurrah doodle

Get thee to a pharmacy counter and purchase a tab of their finest Canesten.

even though there is no discharge? Sorry if TMI!

Oh yes the tampons could easily have made your skin irritated, or could have caused thrush

i don't think there has to be discharge

I went through a phase of being prone to thrush when my hormones were up the creek - never had a discharge, though.

however you should see GU clinic and not just guess IMO

I'm going for a smear test on THursday, I'll mention it then but get some canesten to try to help it in teh meantime

thanks very much

I just LOL at vestibule then nearly pmsl at doodle farting.

AHA!! Deffo mention thrush before smear as you can get 'false positive' smear test.

oh bugger!

I will, thanks 40
