tamoxifen thrush / cystitis

I have been on tamoxifen since October. Has been ok on and off. I started to experience itching down below which i know can be a side effect of the tablets. The itching has started to ease up but i am getting a burning feeling still and it is getting on my nerves now. I have been using a cream called vagisil. Could i now have cystitis. It is very uncomfortable.

I would like any advice to help me.

Thanks
Chrissie

Hi Chrissie

Just to let you know there is a thread at the bottom of the page called ‘Can Tamoxifen cause Cystitis?’ which you may want to ask your questions on.

Also whilst you are waiting for replies you may find the tamoxifen fact sheet helpful. To find details just follow this link:-

I hope this helps
