Hi ladies,
please share.
I have been having burning pain down there since I had my baby 4 months ago (well actually since before she was born). First my doc said it was candida, and was giving me antifungals for nearly 3 months. She did do examination and said it looked inflammed and there was some signs of chronic inflammation. Anyway, three weeks ago we did fungal culture which came back negative today.
Now today she's saying it is just a nervous condition. She didn't do examination so I don't know if it's still inflammed, but it feels like it is. Anyway she prescribed an oestrogen cream, but I checked the containdications and breastfeeding is contraindicated. I am still breastfeeding and not ready to stop so I can't take that.
Anyway, why prescribe an oestrogen cream for something that is just a nervous condition. Does this sound right? I am not feeling good about all of this.
Don't know where else to post this or where to get advice or what?
