I have been doing quite well the last 3 months. I have been using clobetasol twice a day and Yuvafem twice a week. However, my burning and irritation symptoms returned 2 days ago. My doctor asked if i ate anything different in the last few days. i told her I ate eggplant 3 days in a row. She said that eggplant has high oxalates which possibly could havr caused the flare up. She told me to keep using the clobetasol twice a day and increase the Yuvafem to three times a week since my vaginal ph is still high. She also recommended using coconut oil to soothe the vulva. I always use a baking soda wash after urinating. She said that is fine. I am wondering if anyone had a flare up due to high oxalate foods. She wants to see me in a month to see how I am doing. If I still have issues, she will give me a lidocaine shot to try to calm the nerve in the vulva. She believes I have vulvodynia as well as LICHEN SCLEROSIS. Thanks for any advice.
