    Well funny you should mention this but I've had a couple. I think it's the ovaries getting used to things. I'm eating sauerkraut and it's helping x

      I'm hoping that it's just part of the healing process.  I had my hysterectomy on July 20 and really haven't had any issues until these infections started.

    Yikes..thats not fun, have you checked with your doctor?  Yeast infections are usually a sign of too much sugar.

      I went to the doctor the first time and got a prescription. But it's not like a normal yeast infection.  Just itching and usually only at night when I trying to sleep.  Ugh!

      Itching can be down to too much estrogen. Believe you me I have been reading ALOT 😂 X

    I'm pretty much sure it's down to hormones as the last time I had this I was pregnant 27 years ago! Hopefully it will settle x

    Hi Cindy, it can also be a sign of lack of oestrogen to particular areas. Suffered with it for a while after my hyster. Doc prescribed vaginal oestrogen pessaries...helped until hormones calmed down. Hope you get some help. Best wishes K
