Vaginal itching and discomfort

I’ve just come off antibiotics for a urine infection but my vagina is now sore, itchy/burning. Could it be from the antibiotics? Should I ask the midwife, ur doctor, or can I just go to the pharmacy for some cream or something? Anyone experienced this before?

Could be thrush if you've just taken antibiotics definitely mention it to midwife, they might say just go to a pharmacy but might want to test too x

@Kelly thanks lovely. I’ll do that this morning as I’ve got to go for a blood test anyway. I didn’t even feel symptoms of a urine infection in the first place but was put on antibiotics and now I’m uncomfortable 🙃

Yep sounds like thrush. Get your GP to prescribe you a pessary and cream, don’t waste your money when you get free prescriptions!!

I had to do a urine test and swab. Just girly things 💁🏼‍♀️

I was on antibiotics for a throat infection and then experienced what you have said. It was thrush so defo get checked xx

@Amie I did today

Good. You can Join me in pain 😂😂

I found that last time I used the pessary it caused me to be in so much and bleed. This time I got my partner to insert it in me and it didn’t hurt as he pushed it far up enough. Don’t use the applicator due to pregnancy xxx
