Is it safe to use cream intravaginally even though I wasn

It is generally safe to use Canesten vaginal cream (clotrimazole) inside the vagina even if you have not been sexually active for many years. Sexual activity does not determine whether you can get or treat vaginal thrush, as it is usually caused by an overgrowth of yeast. The cream is designed to treat infection both inside the vagina and on the outer vulval skin. If you have symptoms such as internal itching, unusual discharge, or irritation inside, the cream can be used inside the vagina with the applicator provided. If your symptoms are only in the outer area, you may apply it externally to the affected skin. Always follow the instructions in the leaflet. If you are unsure where to apply it, or if your symptoms do not improve within a few days, it is important to consult a doctor for further assessment.
