Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 It's " that " time of the month again and it is once again causing me severe pain. From the clitoris to the rest of the vulva is prickly burning. I have a very heavy cycle now and I can't use tampons so I have to use pads. Both paper pads and toilet paper irritate my skin badly. I did, this month, off ebay, buy a couple of cloth pads to try but the very first one I tried I soaked through to my underwear in short time. So I'm back to the pain invoking paper pads. The blood also has always been irritating to my skin. I don't know what to do to get some relief. Maybe there are cloth pads that have better protection and don't leak through? Maybe I need to consider some measure to reduce or stop my period. I just don't know. I have a script still for yasmin but I don't want to have a drier vulva and more pain during the month. I talked to the last Dr. about ablation but he wants me to try the pill first. And yet tonight I am seriously considering a hysterectomy to stop this all together. I don't know if I should risk the pill? I'd love to hear from anyone who has successfully gotten on it and not been worse for it. I've got to find something to get this to let up. I fear I am anemic again also. Any thoughts or suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
