I went to docs this morning because of extremely irregular periods and pain during intercourse, only just started having sex (and only had sex maybe 4 times) so not sure if this is anything or not though). Im 26 and was panicing was cervical or uterine cancer.

The doc did an oh so comfy examination where she used a finger to feel inside the vagina, and this in itself did hurt me quite alot. Should it have? she said she couldnt feel anything abnormal like any lump but did say the inside of my vagina was very very red! and that this was most likely Thrush, BUT I have had no itching or pain on urination occur ever, so im thinking how can it be this??

Shes sent a swab away for analysis which will come back in a week’s time. Is it possible for it to be Thrush with internal vaginal redness as the only symptom??

She said they couldnt do a smear test there and then and didnt offer any further tests yet for the irregular periods, but did say after the results for the Thrush come back we may need to look into an ultrasound with a probe inside me which she said id probs find painful!!!!

Can thrush present without itching or pain on urination? she said Cervical Cancer was v unlikely from my symptom
