Pink discharge. Worries.

I used a thrush pessary lastnight before I went to bed, today when I got home I realised there was a lot of light pink chalky residue covering most of the panty liner. 
I know the chalky residue is normal after using thrush vaginal tablet, but I have never had this much on my panty liner after using it before and it's the first time it's been pink. I'm worried. 
can anybody give me some advice 

  • Hello there and thanks for posting

    It can be a worry to see pink discharge but this is pretty common and can be caused by so many different things.

    Thrush or a vaginal infection itself can cause irritation and bleeding but also the walls of the vagina can bleed when the treatment is inserted causing the pinkness on the liner afterwards.

    This should settle down but if it doesn't or you notice more bleeding or other symptoms do get in contact with your GP so they can assess you.

    Try not to worry this is likely to be a far less serious cause for this other than cancer.

    All the best
