@womohealth: They gave her yeast cream every time. Eleven prescriptions. Eleven negative swabs. Nobody looked. Lichen sclerosus. A chronic inflammatory skin condition of the vulva. Not an infection. Not an STI. Diagnosed by a look and a biopsy. Treated with a high-potency steroid, not a yeast cream. Untreated, the labia can fuse. The clitoris can bury. The damage is permanent. The treatment is not. What symptom were you told to just live with? Share as much or as little as you choose in the comments. Your experience could help another woman feel less alone.
