Hi girls,
Of late, following DTD or any form of activity/friction involving my nether-regions, I have been incredibly irritated, itchy and sore...
The same thing happens whether we do or don't use condoms, whether there is any bodily fluid exchanged (both saliva and semen) and it also seems to happen if there is just hand or mouth activity if you know what I mean...
Our GP has ruled out thrush, infection and just about everything else...
Has anyone else experienced the same thing? And what has worked to relieve the pain? (I find occasional paracetemol and a cold washer helps... but the irritation can last days - and just when it feels like it's better we have sex again and we're back to square one!!!)
Thanks,
Lily
I had a very simular problem earlier on in my pregnancy - well almost exactly what your describing to be honest - right down to the cold facewasher between the legs!
Mine turned out to be vaginitis, but even after the infection cleared up i had the same thing still happeneing. Even though the dr ruled out thrush i continued to treat it as if it was thrush coz it felt the same. I eventually changed thrush treatments - from canesten to something in a pink tube (cant rememebr the name) and whatever it was went away. We also treated DF for thrush as well thinking that maybe he had it and it was irritating mine? I also went onto daily doses of probiotics, and we now use lube, and my who ha has never been better!
Maybe give some of that a go - does sound really simular. HTH!
Thanks so much girls - will try lube - and funny enough that I've only just come from the chemist to get a new thrush cream (even though it's not thrush our GP said it could be very soothing and might be worth a shot)... Canesten did nothing so have moved on to the one in the pink tube that you mentioned Elyse - if it's the same one it's called Nilstat!
Will keep you posted!
Thanks again!
Lily
