Burning itching down there

canadianhockeymom

Just had first FEC infusion. Burning and itching in my lady parts (NO discharge) started about 48 hours in. I have been rinsing with a water bottle and patting dry since it started. (I also finished an antibiotic about 1 week ago because - given after my port placement. Yeast? No discharge. Just regular irritation? Suggestions?

I would go see your gyn. Could be yeast anyway, or could be bacterial. No need to be miserable!!!

Call you doc. Get script for diflucan. Maybe yeast?

No fair chemo picking on the lady parts down there

I got a yeast infection when I had my first chemo.  I went to my Gyno right away.

Yes, see your gyno! Chemo and antibiotics can be unkind to our lady parts. I always try to eat a serving of yogurt everyday when I take an antibiotic and it seems to reduce the likelihood that I will get a yeast infection. You might want to try some yogurt if you don't mind it.
