TV Adverts for" Vaginal Itching Creams" make me Cross

I am tired of seeing TV adverts by the drug companies for creams to treat vaginal itching.  They make it sound normal and minor.  I didn't seek professional help until I was actually bleeding quite severely, because I thought it was something I should be able to deal with myself with some over-the-counter cream.  We may not be able to find the perfect solution for our LS problem but perhaps we could help other women get diagnosed sooner if we all complained about these misleading adverts.

    38 Degrees sounds like a great plan.

    It won't help Canadians like me, but I'll look to see if there's another organization out there for us.

    Go for it! May the force be with you.
