Thrush

[GIDGET]

Hi Ren,

I have thrush this cycle (I am kinda hoping that it is an early preg symptom but I am not sure).

There can be swelling down there - this might be where the pain is coming from. I was swollen and gee did it feel strange!!! My GP said that thrush is one of the few things that cause swelling down there!!

Other symptoms may include a whitish or yellowish discharge, which can be like curds, it can also be creamy and whitish and also bit of an itch. Symptoms vary and you do not necessarily have to have an itch or discharge.

I am susceptible and this time the discharge was bad, but the itch wasn't. I have had other times where the itch was painfully itchy but no discharge - go figure!!

Yes, it is quite common during pregnancy due to those pesky peksy hormones!!!!!

Hope it clears up soon!!!
