Hi everyone! Hoping for a bit of advice!
A few weeks ago I was suffering from some severe itching down below. I went to the docs who diagnosed me with thrush. She took some swabs to confirm it was that and nothing else and it was.

I used a pesserie and cream (although I've been a bit lax with the cream!) And it seems to have mostly cleared up. I still get the occasional small itch but nothing like before.

I'm having problems during sexual contact though. My vagina feels really dry like I can't get aroused properly...and upon 'insertion' it feels kinda sore. Afterwards my down below felt swollen and sore and almost like there was something stuck up there.

I don't know if this is just the after effects of the thrush. Maybe it hasn't quite cleared up yet but it's been 2 weeks, or maybe I'm just not aroused enough before we get going. Does anyone else have any experience of this? It's been 2 weeks since I went to the docs and started my treatment!

Thanks !
