31 weeks pregnant really bad thrush, tried pessasary lastnight

[Ellielouisejxo]

I've been in pain the last 2 weeks down there and put it down to having varicose veins. However I've started to have discharge and a really swollen vagina. Doctor prescribed me a pesasary and cream to go out the outer area. I put the pessasary in last night but don't know if I put it up far enough as I could still feel it, when I went to pull it out to insert it higher, half of it crumbled in my hands. I've woken up this morning in agony and my vagina is really swollen and hurts to touch. Doctors is shut for the weekend. Would you recommend putting in another pessasary ? Any help would be appreciated as I'm in a lot of pain

I wouldn't try another one if you're already in a lot of pain. I'd give the midwife a call and see if they can recommend anything.

I once treated those symptoms by inserting a tampon covered in natural live yogurt. It was really soothing and worked (but very messy!) but I'd check with the midwife first.
