Can fybogel cause "intimate" irritation?

This is a question for the ladies. I`ve been taking fybogel for a few weeks and finding it helpful but in the last couple of days have had a very sore vulval area. I haven`t done anything else different so am wondering if something in the fybogel is causing this. I wondered if something is getting into the urine and causing irritation.

I hope the fybogel isn`t causing problems as I don`t really want to stop it

Hi Janke, sorry, I don't know if Fybogel is implicated , but I do suggest you get some medical advice with this. It could be a urinary infection or candida, but your health care professional should be able to help. You can always ask a pharmacist as a first point of call.
