Hi there

Antibiotics can cause yeast infections such as Thrush, as do hormone changes, as we are from the UK I’m not sure if you have already used a Thrush treatment (Canestan in the UK) pessary and 2% cream? If you haven’t in England you can buy it from a pharmacy, so that might be the place to start, if not I would advise going back to see your doctor for a different Thrush treatment.

I hope this helps

Best wishes

Katherine

Hi there

Clotrimazole is generally considered safe for pregnant women to use. If you are using the pessary to treat vaginal thrush during pregnancy it is recommended that you insert it with your fingers rather than with the applicator provided. It is very common for pregnant women to suffer from thrush. If you are worried it is best to consult your doctor or midwife who will advise you as to whether treatment is recommended.

I hope this helps

Best wishes
