I am currently on a trip to Norway. I have recently started to get irritated at the entrance of my vagina and it stings a lot. There is no whitish discharge, no smell. The toilet paper here is very rough. Should I take Canestan or something else? Thanks I am currently on a trip to Norway. I have recently started to get irritated at the entrance of my vagina and it stings a lot. There is no whitish discharge, no smell. The toilet paper here is very rough. Should I take Canestan or something else? Thanks Yes I have felt this before but it had been several years since it happened. It's been about 3 days. It's not getting any worse. Thank you for your help! Is the cream alone enough or do I also need the tablet to insert into the vagina (the complete Canestan kit)? I was able to find Canesten with a vaginal application (tablet style). It's only one application. The clerk told me to continue the cream for another two days. I applied it this morning and it's already making a nice difference. How long can the itching last?

Hello Madam, Have you had these symptoms (yeast vaginitis) in the past? When did you first experience this?

39-year-old woman · a year ago

Yes I have felt this before but it had been several years since it happened.

It's been about 3 days. It's not getting any worse.

Thank you for the information.

If these symptoms are the same as before and Canesten had helped, you can try its use. However, if the situation does not improve after 3 days, you should consult a doctor to rule out other causes.

I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any other questions!

The cream with applicators is usually sufficient if the treatment is completed (6 days of 1% concentrated product).
