I've been really itchy and irritated since about 5 days PP - the pain has totally subsided and I assume my stitches/tears have healed, but it kind of feels like I have a yeast infection or maybe bacterial vaginosis (sp??). I'm calling the OB in the morning but she's out of town and I have a feeling I won't be able to get in till next week... I'm wondering if I can just go ahead and get some Monistat, or if this itching is normal PP stuff...
Anyone experience anything like this??
Re: Postpartum itching/soreness: yeast infection??
The hospital actually gave me a tube of cortizone to use for pp itchiness. So it must be normal. I never had any but I used the hell out of Dermablast.
same here, i thought it was a yeast infection at first but i thimk that i was just healing. try the dermaplast and water. hang in there, it gets better.
