Good advice. Sorry that you are suffering, 4 me it was like razor blades up there
. Over the Counter pain relief can help, i.e.
Nurofen: I have taken 2 x 200mg and 90 mins. later another tablet which has helped me.
My GP recognised the symptoms in that none of the urine samples 'grew' any bacteria to necessitate anti-biotics though they did initially, ease symptoms. However, locally applied
Vagifem or the 1 which I use (name escapes me
) really can help. There are other products that ladies find helpful, i.e. Sylc - if you put the names of the products into the 'search' box you will see which combinations help.
Some ladies don't use any bath oils etc. or soap down there. My Granny swore by bicarb of soda in the bath water
. It is important to keep the whole area as supple as possible!! Even LIVE yoghurt, applied gently - it is soothing, best done on a large bath towel ;-).
