Increased watery discharge after using canestan pessary
Hi,
I’ve had thrush this week so used the canestan soft gel pessary last night before bed. Woke up a few hours later and my knickers were quite wet, there was a lot of chalky discharge too (which must’ve been from the pessary breaking down). Although I’m pretty sure the wetness was just from the discharge, I’ve been panicking thinking it might be amniotic fluid.
I changed my knickers and they’re dry now as of this morning. I’m going to buy some pads so I can monitor it but just wondering if anyone’s had something similar?
UPDATE: I rang triage who didn’t seem concerned and said to just put on a panty liner and monitor over next 4 hrs. Still anxious though so anyone who’s been in this position please let me know!

@O B so scary isn’t it but glad you’re feeling better and the discharge has become a lot less.. I’ve monitored today and it’s pretty much normal now so I feel very relieved!
Hi was this all okay? I've been experiencing the same thing. Knickers wet from increased discharge x
Hi yes it was fine. Is yours from using canestan?

Hi @Caroline the absolutely exact same situation happened to me this week ! I finished my canestan treatment on Thursday and the watery discharge has certainly become a lot less which gives me reassurance that is was directly linked to the treatment and nothing more sinister. I was going to go to hospital today but decided not to in the end as feel way better today and less side effects from the thrush treatment. You really have nothing to worry about and good to know that triage weren’t concerned about it and you were told to monitor. Let me know how you get on and equally if anything abnormal happens to me in the next 24 hours i’ll keep you posted but pretty certain it’s all fine !
