Sore 👄
Bit embarrassing but - I’m not sure if it’s due to needing to pee more and wiping more but I’ve become very sore down there and noticed my 👄 ‘splitting’ and bleeding (not pouring with blood but when I wipe there are spots of it)
Had anyone else had this? Is there anything I can do to make it better? Had been going on for a couple of weeks now and seems to get a bit better and then happens again

Have you tried any thing for thrush?
I wonder if a Peri-bottle might help. :) That way you could gently clean up with water and then dab dry, preventing wiping as much.
They're often recommended for post-partum so they must be gentle on sore parts.
Hope you feel better soon x
There's this cream you can use which is sort of like metanium, but it's for adults, and it works extremely well at relieving any problems down there. But just like metanium you can't use it often as it's very strong
Are you pregnant? I had this a few times in my first and second trimester. I even stopped shaving because I swear the skin was just more sensitive than usual.
Get some wet wipes instead of toilet roll (femfresh if youre UK), it may help. Just be super gentle x
yeh I’m 2nd trimester currently!
that’s a good idea thank you!
It just resolved itself for me by the 3rd trimester so I hope it gets better soon, I'm sure it's pregnancy related! Sudocreme helps the soreness and also helps it heal x
Yep have the same issue ! Hopefully seeing nurse on Monday as it’s driving me crazy
Would be worth going to doctor and getting a wee swab for thrush? Then they can advise the best course of treatment x
