So embarrassing! I was in the hospital with a fever for a few days. I wasn’t neutropenic initially during my stay but became so after a couple days. Anyway, I was experiencing an itchy vagina and eventually a bit of burning when I pee. The dr said vaginal flush is common during chemo and gave me the cream. It cleared the itching but looks like I have ulcers on my vulva. I’ve never had herpes but could this be an outbreak and I didn’t know it? Or do vaginal ulcers happen during chemo?

Yes, I’ve had the same but didn’t want to mention it. It’s embarrassing isn’t it. I’ve been getting a strange clear discharge that doesn’t smell and is only a bit - vaginal flush seems to describe it. I also got what I thought were spots but could have been ulcers. They have now cleared up as I was really careful about cleaning myself. I’ll mention it when I go for my next chemo and try to get an answer. Weird what happens to our bodies during this.
Yes I am very sore everywhere.
I used yoghurt to calm down vaginak sores and bicarbonate of soda.
My mouth is pretty sore too, but I use bicarbonate for that not the yoghurt.
I have terrible thrush and have fluourizole on standby ( you know the canes team tablets) - but so far cool yoghurt fro the fridge is lovely.
