Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection During Pregnancy
Hi I recently found out I was pregnant (5 weeks) and also recently found out I have a yeast infection. My dr gave me cream to use for 7 days and I m on the 4th day mark. Besides a bit of swelling of my inner lips and and some mild to moderate pain when insulting the tool everything seemed to be ok. About 11 hours ago I went to pee and immediately felt this sharp pain. It hurt very bad and has continued since hen every time I pee. I went and looked at my bacon in a up close mirror and discovered that my inner vagina has these small clearing bumps on it (2) and when I touched them they hurt tremendously. I was recently tested and was told I was clean and healthy. I m not sure what this is and its a little scary. Can someone please help?
