Kathryn - VA is far better if 1 has to choose, than thrush!
He should have suggested upping the VA treatment to every night which will work, rather than applying a steroid 'down there'. VA treatments can be applied around the labia/vulva areas. I slar either KY Jelly or 'ovestin' if the area itches to keep it supple.
VA can mimic repeated urine infection-type symptoms really really. Once a regime works, then it's best to stick with it for at least 3 years. VA treatment can be for ever to stop the area becoming dry = itchiness.
Bella247 - Gynaes often don't know enough about VA treatments and many medics are scared that we can 'overdose' on oestrogen, however: if your symptoms haven't settled on twice a week, those of us who have tweaked and experimented would probably suggest every night for at least 2-3 weeks.
Both: let us know how you get on.
