Dear Lactnet readers,
I need help with this ASAP. A mom sent an email that she visited her OB today thinking she had a vaginal infection. She was told that her estrogen levels could be low which would have symptoms of infection. She is breastfeeding. He wanted to order an estrogen cream since that shouldn't interfere with her milk supply. 
She looked up low estrogen symptoms in which she does not have painful intercourse, hot flashes or the symptoms she found. She is also very cautious about taking any medications. I am at a total loss on this one. I have not been able to find any info in Lawrence, Breastfeeding. Of course, I am at home and do not have access to any of my resources. I can look up Hale when I get back to work. Please feel free to email me privately at work address.
