A member asked:

Inserted a thrush pessary, it didn't go deep enough so inserted it again, am on period so the tablet got blood on it before reinserting, is this okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It should be ok: Blood shouldn't be a problem. You may need to repeat it if the symptoms return after your period.
