Terri,
A couple of things come to mind. I believe vaginal dryness and itching, thinning skin can be found in some lactating moms
with lower estrogen levels being normal during lactation. An estrogen cream probably would not impact an established lactation.
Is this a new postpartum mom or mom of older infant?
There may be some vaginal creams that are herbal or herbal remedies by mouth that mother could try. I am not well versed in
these however.
Did the doctor examine this mother, take a culture? If not then mother may want a second opinion before proceding with the estrogen
cream.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Opinions expressed above are not necessarily those of Baptist.
