**Hi,

I am new to this forum but i am desperate as i suffer from Health Anxiety and have a real issue around cancer.

Anyway, back in August i had thrush or i thought i did but it didnt clear up. i went to GP and saw a young DR. Within 3 minutes i was told i had LS and there was no cure. i came out of surgery in tears feeling like my life was over. i decided to go private to get a second opinion, which i did. He told me that it was Vulvar atrophy and not LS.

Six months later i am still struggling and now have issues with my back passage. Ive tried lotions and moisturisers but nothing helped. i called Dr again last week and he git me an urgent appointment at local hospital on Thursday where LS was confirmed.

i am at my whits end as i suffer with anxiety all the time. i really need someone to talk to, I am desperate.

i see online that people suggest diet but i am vegetarian.

please help me !!!

    Hi Julie,

    So the latest dr said you had LS and,where, exactly, is it? Your post is not clear. What surgery did you have? You can have both atrophy and LS, in fact, most women do. I don't know what to say until you give us some more detail. Do try to stay calm because added stress will definitely not help you. Be well.
