bleeding after Canesten pessary

[im989]

I’ve had episodes of thrush over the years all treated with tablets or pessaries. I used a Canesten pessary a couple of days ago and now have period like bleeding. Never experienced this after treatment and pretty sure it’s not a normal period bleed. Any advice on similar welcome

Hi are you sure you have thrush it could be something else, have your periods stopped? Are you on any HRT,

I think if a bleed is unusual for you go to see your GP,

Hi, yes I’m on hrt and cyclical utrogestan. Everything has been quite regular apart from this so I’m a bit stumped!

Have you made any changes to your regime like changes to your dosage of oestrogen. It could be you need a more localised oestrogen to top up as some ladies say they can get little tears and can bleed, but maybe have a chat with your doctor.

If you are on Facebook I can recommend the HRT truth collective group it’s very helpful

🤔 It could be a side effect..
