Fungal infection

Hi! This is my 2nd pregnancy and i'm experiencing fungal infection down there, it's really very itchy and i'm trying my best to not scratch myself. I don't experience this for my first so this is my first time having it the whole of my life. I know this is somewhat quite normal but i just want to check if anyone here had back-to-back recurring infection? I just completed 6 days of canesten pessary last week and the infection came back again this week and i'll be on another round of the pessary again 😭

Hey! I’m also pregnant and had a similar issue a few weeks ago, constant itching that just wouldn’t go away down there. My gynae, Dr Regina of GynaeMD Clementi, said it’s common during pregnancy and reminded me to stick to gentle hygiene habits and avoid anything scented down there. After following her advice and finishing the treatment, it finally settled down.

Hi, did your doctor prescribe the same brand of pessary? Did you use the applicator to insert it? I didn’t use the applicator since it’s not recommended during pregnancy, but I felt it didn’t go in as deeply as it should have, which might be why the recovery wasn’t as effective.
