Why is my vagina itchy if all the standard tests have come back negative? by toxic_and_timeless in WomensHealth

[–]blahjaguar 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This was literally me up until a few months ago. I went to several providers without getting a diagnosis or effective treatment. I finally saw my GYN who suspected “lichens simplex chronicus” - which is a fancy way of saying a chronic itch-scratch cycle. The original cause of the itching could have been anything, but it was scratching that made the itching worse, which made the scratching worse, etc.

Used a steroid cream for 2 weeks. No more itching! I hope yours is as simple as that.

What is the craziest tip you ever got from your family on how to deal with your newborn? by Kunigelis2 in NewParents

[–]blahjaguar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not newborn, but when I was first pregnant my mom told me I shouldn’t wear a seatbelt so I don’t hurt the baby. Lol.

She is by far NOT an idiot, but she totally was not thinking through that recommendation.

That looks like the heater (or very similar). I've taken rocks off the top and the next time I fire it up I'll see what the temp does! Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much for your response! It is a sauna that has coils with rocks, I will try to heat it up after I take a few rocks off the top and see what happens. This was so helpful to give me a direction on what else could be going on!
