Vagisil fast relief from itching, safe in pregnancy?

Following

I asked and was told Canestan cream was fine and the pessary is fine (as long as you insert with fingers and not the applicator). The internet warns against the oral tablet though.
I don't know if Canestan is the same stuff as Vagisil.
A pharmacist should be able to tell you, or maybe a triage midwife. Saves you waiting.

thank you, super helpful x

I had the pessary and cream when pregnant with my first and it was fine. Always best to check with Doctor though to make sure you are treating the right thing. Would definitely recommend probiotics too, they can help stop any reoccurrence.

curious about this - do you know why it’s recommended to insert with fingers instead of applicator?

Midwife says using the fingers reduces the risk of getting too close to the cervix.

I've used it and was fine. It really helped!

thank you 🤍

I had the same issue used the pessary it made a big difference but I feel like it’s come back again

probiotics really make a difference, I haven’t had any thing since taking them 9 months ago, and before then it was constantly reoccurring. https://www.purermama.co.uk/products/the-probiotic-capsule
