Crohn's Flare on Your Vulva
Last updated: March 2021
I am 31 years old and I was diagnosed with Crohn’s when I was 25.
I was recently put on an extensive round of antibiotics to treat an infection. As most women know after antibiotics you will likely get a yeast infection.
However this time it was different, I had vaginal tearing that occurred during sex and while bathing. I went to see my doctor and with no other side effects, she diagnosed me with a Crohn’s flare on my vulva.
She prescribed me a steroid ointment do you use. This is new to me and I am still learning about my disease. I would love to know if anyone else has experienced a flare like this.
