Thush is making me feel miserable..

[tink30]

I know its too much info.. but hoping someone else can give some advice. Doctor gave me canisten combi on monday and its done nothing Im agony, like razor blades have cut me up.. i went back to the doctors today and shes done a swab to send off.. in the meantime im in agony, its so unpleasent.. and nothing like ive had before, its like the cream is doing nothing. I was in hospital a few weeks ago with a uti and ecoli.. and was put on strong antibiotics, just wondering if it could be related.... dreading going to bed tonight xxx

Oh no poor you, maybe it's something else, I didn't think thrush could feel like that. Hope it improves soon, must be horrible x

Poor you sounds painful..you could try putting bicarbonate of soda in a lukewarm bath, thats supposed to be quite soothing.Hope you feel better soon.

I've read natural yog is supposed to help. I had thrush a few weeks back and i think it started as a result of antibiotics i was on, they do say you're more susceptible during pregnancy as your ph levels change but antibiotics can also effect ph and cause thrush. You're sounds a lot worse than mine, i was mainly itchy not so much in pain and the cream started to work after about 3 days. Hope it gets better soon x

Hopefully she's checking to make sure it isn't BV. I had BV and it did not like the anti-yeast cream!

In the meantime try cutting out sugar. The yeast, if it is yeast, feeds on sugar. And eat lots of yogurt!

You have all my sympathy, i have thrush often, and sometimes its so so bad its hard to explain and i am in so much discomfort. The cream does nothing at all for me.....
Heres things ive tried which can help a little with the discomfort:
- soak down there in a cool bath with either salt or bicarb soda.
- natural yogurt
- very cold aqueous cream out the fridge
- small amount of germolene
- try and let it at the fresh air as much as you can. Ive seen myself lay on the bathroom floor with a hand held fan blowing my lady bit, haha.
Is the combi the pessary?? ive had the pessary twice this pregnancy and it helped for a time.
Hope you feel better soon

Yep, antibiotics can very well give you thrush. I will also vote for natural yogurt, the one with the probiotic properties preferably, try wiping with tissues rather than toilet paper for a while, and drink plenty of water and sugar-free cranberry juice to make sure UTIs and other bacterial infections leave you alone.

Good luck, hon. Feel better soon. x
