In your case I think c section is in your best interest
Thanks for the support! The only current management for LS is steroid creams for inflammation. However I cannot take them during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and they are certainly not a cure. I spoke to my doctor today and he actually agreed that a c-section is my best bet :)
I think a C-section would be very smart. They are not that hard to get well from (your sex with the pain probably hurt more than the recovery from a C), and why invite reconstructive vaginal surgery? It would be no walk in the park to get over the pain from that. I am sorry you have lichen sclerosis and really sorry no doc was able to diagnose it earlier, and delighted for you that you have found a good support group. Apologize for my ignorance, but I thought there were things to do to remove it? Anyway, do not fear a C-section. Mine came after 27 hours of labor and I still groaned at the idea of having to have one, but it was surprisingly not that difficult. I was walking to the loo not 7 hours after having it (a little tottery) and they do give you pain meds if you need them, but it isn't really that tough. Just don't sneeze without pressing a pillow onto your tum, at first. lol
The doctors would probably recommend a c section becuz they would not want to put u or ur baby at risk for anything
