My client was 26 weeks pregnant when she first came into my clinic space and informed me that she had constant v@ginal itchiness/irritation and v@ginal pe*******on constantly caused tearing at the v@ginal opening. This had been happening for years, and by the time she approached me, she could barely stand any object rubbing her v***a. But the major concern and anxiety was now around v@ginal delivery of a human baby! OMG!!
I examined her v***a and there was a classic presentation of lichens sclerosis - skin with white patches, scars and adhesions on the v***a. The skin was puckering and this could easily lead to more cl****al tissues sticking to each other. She also had a history of autoimmune disorder.
Lichens Sclerosis cannot go untreated! I contacted her GYN and my client immediately got cortisone cream. She felt more comfortable after application and more confident after we discussed tips and tricks for an easier labor and delivery!
This is an example of how I can work with your midwife, OBGYN, doula or any birth support person to help you feel more safe and gain confidence about delivering your baby into this world!
