Although, if you are asking “Can I Pee After Inserting Canesten Pessary?” you cannot pee immediately after inserting the pessary. Although the urethra is outside or front of the vagina, some of the urine will go inside the vagina. This can dissolve the Canesten pessary and make it too watery.
If you use too much external clotrimazole cream or use it more often than you need to, it may make your skin irritated, or red. Use less cream the next time if this happens.
The cream is designed to stay within the vagina to work without having to reapply every day for seven days.

Rarely, immediately after you apply the cream you might experience: ▪ Mild burning or irritation. If this is intolerable, stop treatment and see your doctor as soon as possible. Very rarely, Canesten Thrush Cream may cause side effects which can be very similar to the symptoms of the infection.
If you don't really have a yeast infection, antifungals won't help you get better. They can actually prolong the real problem, because while you'll think you're treating the issue, the real cause will continue to develop.
Since the pessary dissolves in the vagina, it may be helpful to wear a panty liner because it is quite common to notice a slight white residue (chalky) after using the pessary. This does not mean that the treatment has not worked. The symptoms of thrush should disappear within three days of treatment.
For best results, lie down as soon as possible after inserting the vaginal products. This will reduce leakage. You may want to use panty liners to protect your clothing during the time you are using the product.

If there are no signs of improvement after two weeks of using clotrimazole, you should make an appointment to see your doctor for advice.
If you use too much clotrimazole cream, spray or solution or use it more often than you need to, it may make your skin irritated or red. If this happens, use less the next time.
