LS on urethra - anyone?
Posted , 10 users are following.
Hi all,
So I actually feel like the only woman in the world that has LS on her urethra It's actually on the urethral meatus around my pee hole. My doctor said it is an usual place for LS to show up but it can happen.
Having the LS on this area is not affecting my urine flow or anything but I have urethral pain more when strain and sometimes symptoms of UTI.
Does anyone have LS on this area of skin or no of anyone that does? I feel so alone. I'm thinking of going to a urologist just to make sure everything internally is functioning normally!

Biopsy is needed to establish a solid diagnoses. Globetasol can be used in tiny amounts, again, to keep LS controlled.
There are many factors that seem to play a role in controlling LS. Another is the estrogen level. I also take hormone replacements. (not premarin) and extra supplements. LS is high maintenance, really.

I too use a topical low dose of estrogen called Bi-Est. It's applied in the vagina. Then I take progesterone in capsule form. It does make a difference for me. Perhaps also because I have had a total hysterectomy and have malfunctioning adrenal glands, which is a double wammy; no hormone production therefore, not even for post menopause.
I use vit. C, B combo, Vit D, Omega 3 with LS in mind.
And I use very small amounts of Globetasol. It is to keep LS under control. Once, sometimes twice a week. (no more than pea size, less I think) No more soreness. The amount I use will not burn at all or so little that I don't even feel it anymore. Globetasol is key, especially in the beginning of your treatment.
Did I mention coconut oil for moisturizing? Also used Emu oil early on and that was very soothing, but for me less affective than coconut oil. Sometimes I use Calendula oil. LS likes a bit of variety sometimes.

I notice the soreness and urgent need to urinate comes after having intercourse or sitting for long periods of time which puts pressure on the area. I was so sure I had an infection I went to my GP who tested my urine and said that it was clear. Does LS ever affect inside the urethra? I'm terrified it will spread inside!
Like you said the area is very sensitive. It is an awful spot to have LS. I would also like to cut off the nerves so I didn't feel anything! It makes me so miserable, especially because it also affects my sex life now I'm thinking of seeing a urologist.

I find it is worse after intercourse for some reason.
Can LS affect inside the urethra? Like I mentioned in a previous post I'm terrified about this scenario!
I'm thinking of seeing a urologist too to get some advice as its making my life miserable. I'm 25 but feel like a 90 year old woman. Do let me know how your appointment with the urologist goes and what he/she suggests.

y and the area around the vagina is very sore l have put vaseline on. The cystoscopy was painless and revealed everything normal , l need oestrogen because l am dry inside and not empting my bladder properly the muscle is slack the oestrogen will help all this plus it helps the LS . The nurse gave me some good advice she said sit on the loo for 5mins after you think your finished and you will wee again and then your bladder will be empty , leaving water in the bladder leads to infections . I tried it and it works ! Also drink lots of water.
The urologist did say l had scarring very near the urthera
