I received a call from a G3P3 who is having extremely painful intercourse.
She states that her physician prescribed a topical application of
Betamethasone which provides some relief as long as she uses it. She was
told she may have to stop breastfeeding because it is the hormones of
breastfeeding that are causing this problem. Her perineal area is reddened
when she does not use the cream. I suggested that she call a dermatologist
she sees and that I would post to you. She has had one period and the next
one is due in about 2 weeks. Any thoughts?
