Suggest Treatment For Severe Yeast Infection

I need a gynocology question answered. I thought I had a yeast infection and treated it for that for a few months. No better. I have white discoloration of the labia, itching, intense dryness, pain when urine touches the area. A gynocologist said it was some kind of skin problem that women can get after meonopause and she gave me cortizone cream to use for two weeks. I am suppose to go back after some of the irritaion calms down. She said she might have to do a biopsy. Is this normal.

Hi,
During menopause the female reproductive organs undergo a lot of changes physiological and biochemical (pH) making it more prone for infections.

A biopsy will help diagnose the condition . Before the biopsy reports come it is very early to comment whether it is normal or not.

Also kindly get pap smears regularly evry 5 years for the screening of cervical cancer as a preventive measure.

Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
