Pessaries

Hello all. I’ve never used pessaries before so not entirely sure what’s normal...

I’m on a 14 day course of pessaries for thrush. I seem to be getting lots of discharge, and it (TMI!) gushes! I just feel it go! The discharge is always very much full of bits of pessary.

Is that what happens?! I know our vaginas are self cleaning... so I guess it’s doing that?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s driving me slightly mad!

Thanks for any info!!

Sounds like it just the pessary coming back out. Have you spoken with a pharmacist about treatment options? If you’re still symptomatic after 14 days you might be better with the tablet and cream

Thank you! I was expecting the pessaries to come out to an extend but i didn’t expect the ‘gushing’ feeling all the time 😢

Don't worry Katie, it's completely normal. This always happens when the pessary dissolves. Just another rotten thing we women have to put up with! It'll stop when you finish the pessaries. Just use panty shields or something. You'll be fine! Nothing to worry about.

Thank you! It feels like I’m wetting myself and have to dush to the loo! I wasn’t expecting that!
