Re: this was forwarded to me, and I thought it was a great article

Apparently someone is having success with the addition of estrogens. In my case, I think I fall into the levator ani syndrome category of all he mentions.

Dee has been saying for years that estrogen (bio

identical) improves the conditions most of us have

had. And people have found that to be true. I don't

think that has much to do with birth control pills and

their ability to cause nerve proliferation.

It never made a lot of sense to me to take BC pills

and I just assumed that it was damaging. Besides that

they made me very sick. (lucky for me) So telling

women who have genital and reproductive organ

conditions not to use it seems to be obvious. I wonder

how many women still use it on these lists.

Carolyn: Yes an excellent article. thank you for sharing. I am comforted to know the warm bath I love so much is good for me and that the Estrace cream my doctor presribes is also good for my problem. Also, the extra care I take not to expose the area to soaps, harsh chemicals etc is also helpful. thanks so much. hugs, ML

I didn't read the article - computer's been acting up and I didn't see that post, but I would suspect that ANYTHING which leeches estrogen from our bodies has the potential to cause this problem. There has been info out there that women suffering from vulvar problems have fewer estrogen receptors in the skin of the vulva. Having fewer receptors is most likely due to a prolonged depletion of estrogen, or an unbalanced sex hormone panel. This can happen because of disease (thyroid is one) surgeries (hysterectomy is one) or medicines which deprive of estrogen, like birth control. Some birth control is all progesterone/progestin with no estrogen at all (like the Mirena IUD) and I believe the Depo Provera shot also. Most BC pills are heavily laden with the progesterone/progestins and very light on the estrogen - which can I think - in the right gal, and the right environment cause depletion of estrogen. Or at least, this is the way I

understand it.DUstyBABB wrote: Carolyn,Thanks for this article. In my opinion Dr. Goldsteinis a very bright man and he writes very well.However, the only new thing in this article to me ishis suggestion that nerve proliferation is caused bybirth control pills. Isn't that what he is suggesting?I would like to see some proof, some at all, thatbirth control pills cause nerve proliferation.Does anybody have anything at all that I can read thatsays that.AT least somebody is thinking about the CAUSE of nerveproliferation besides me. I have read that glutensensitivity causes nerve proliferation. I havewondered what else might do that.Arline ____________________________________________________________________________________Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!
