My gynecologist is out of ideas. Does anyone have a recommendation for a dermatologist or gynecologist in Seattle. Right now I'm using estrace cream and ice. The one time I used cortisone it damn near killed me.......lots of pain. My doc thinks cause of my problem was a severe reaction to spermacides (noxynol (spelling?) that was made worse by a vaginal hysterectomy. Thanks for the support. Irene Need a vacation?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Lia, Thank you so much. I just looked up Eschenbach and see he is chairman of the OB/GYN department at UW Medical School as well as being in private practice. I've been the yeast route, including 10 days on diflucan etc., and nothing changed. My gyno definitely thinks this is chemical reaction to spermacides or a nerve problem.
