OK. I made some errors with my post. I have estradiol cream 0.01. Use 1/4 applicator same as 1gm nightly. Since approx April 10. Had follow up with my ob gyn earlier this werk. Had pelvic US done June 22. Have ovarian cyst both ovaries . Benign . Repeat US in january 2027. My ob gyn did say to try tapering aka lowering my dosage of vaginal estrogen. From all of your comments I will be checking again with my pharmacy and the practice tommorow to re verify dose. I said quarter of tube nightly. I made error. My ob gyn said if my tapering of dosage did not work symptoms flared I could resume origional dose. 3 days earlier this werk after my visit I used 0.5 gm or 1/2 of the 1/4 of the applicator. My BP in the evening when I check is approximately 110/ 70. The other rxs I take are lamotrigine ER 100mg daily seizure prophylaxis escitalopram 20mg daily lisinopril 10 mg daily levothroxine 150mcg daily. Acetaminophen naproxen prn melatonin 10 mg daily. Clobetasol twice daily. I am to continue that dose. My symptoms itching pain are greatly improved. What does still cause irritation is bowel movements. I have ibs pelvic floor dysfunction .I also take docusate and fiber . I did not use dove sensitive bar soap in the area tonight in the shower. Anyone - nurse- please respond. Appreciate it. Research says local estrogen may lower my serum levels of lamotrigine by 50% before I began the local estrogen my lamotrigine level was 2.0. Not therapeutic. Had cranitomy may 2014 to remove abcess left temporal lobe from bacterial meningitis of my brain from chronic sinusitis. My eeg show breach rhythm abnormal but non epileptic due to skull defect. I will always be high risk for seizures though. I am licensed to drive. Have never had seizure activity. My neuroligist said ok to vaginal estrogen. Would not causd seizure activity. My ob gyn said this treatment would not cause seizure activity either. Also- for BMs I completely soak small amount TP with water and wipe. Any comments thank you. ​​​​​

Besides rxs clobetasol twice daily vaginal estrogen 1/4 tube daily stopped petroleum jelly. I have had good results with Johnsons oil gel. Has coconut oil and Shea oil. No more coconut oil by itself either. Dove sensitive bar soap. Very little on private area. Shower head spray to clean. Spray water with spray bottle after toilet pat dry small amount TP then apply Johnsons oil gel. Lots of water. Diet soda which I like causes me GI issues constipation so I limit. And stress. Like quiet in the evening. Read books. Diy home decor magazines. So tired of the toxicity everywhere right now​

I have greatly improved with clobetasol and daily vaginal estrogen. Just saw my ob gyn again. He said I can citrate the daily vaginal estrogen but if it does not work can keep using it nightly. This may sound like a stupid post but my breasts increased in size had to buy larger bras feel self conscious. Partly because my husband loves my new size. I am modest by nature with boundaries limits. I am also 65. Anyone experience this and can you comment? ​

I just saw a post on here about this saw the pub med article but can't get back to the post. What type of red light therapy device works for this area? Thank you.

I have using 100% pure petroleum jelly after urinating. I spray the area with water then apply. Now the petroleum jelly seems to causing more irritation. It was helping. This has occurred with me before. Any suggestions or comments appreciated. I also have my jelly. That seems better​​

My husband and I befriened another woman who had serious trauma in her past. I have ptsd my husband is a veteran with no treatment for it. I have had it. Anyway we helped this person..bought her a jack for her car husband helped her at her reental house. I was beginning to see my mistakes in this. Pulling back. Saying no. She invited another man to stay at her place while she worked to help her dog. This went south. The man lives in our rv park. She bought him back here. He assaulted her. My husband intervened. I told my husband we should report to our landlord. The sheriff was not called. Then she called my husband and said she was going to burn our rv park down if this man was arrested. We reported this call to our landlord. She told my husband oh I did not mean it. My husband blocked her. Last night her car was here. Her sister lives in our rv park too so she was visiting. Her sister had similar trauma. I got very scared. One star is on our car so if she tried to get our car a whole series of consequences would unfold. We have 2 pitbulls who are my legal ESAs. I was walking them last night with my stun gun as I always do. She left. Tommorow we are going to a large yard sale in another town. I am taking my stun gun . Any inappropriate conversation- violence politics etc I leave. I think we need to move. I am sick of thesd type of people. I will not help anyone again. My codependent traits can come out under stress. I have to correct my mistakes. ​​​​​​

I am on right now 1/4 tube estradiol cream nightly. Have been for over 1 months. Ob gyn ordered. Also diagnosed with LS. Using clobetasol 2 times daily. Anyone know if this estradiol cream dosage can be continued? I feel so much better. I know my ob gyn decides. See him again June 4. ​

I have LS and IBS. Get constipated if I have diet soda and no daily yogurt. So what self care is needed for the area after BMs. I use clobetasol twice daily vaginal estrogen 1/4 tube daily- for now. Newly diagnosed. I use dove sensitive bar soap. Apply 100% petroleum. Adiet with veggies and fruir daily very helpful. I take docusate 100 mg 2 times daiky and take fiber supplement too. Not enough water' aka for me less than 64 Oz daily seems to precipate an episode of constipation..also any advice for diet is appreciated. After using bathroom I spray the area with water. Thank you​​​​
