After each breast cancer surgery, I noticed bodily changes. One area of the body I hadn't expected any changes was my "happy spot", especially the pubic region.
The first surgey threw my body off balance. I went into the worse case scenario of menopause, complete with severe hot flashes and night sweats. I was able to get my internal thermostat working again with appropriate nutrition. In 2004 after my second lumpectomy I grew a lovely moustache! In December 2011 following my mastectomy I developed a rash in my pubic region.
I sought the advice of a few pharmacists (all male) who recommended a variety of vaginal yeast infection meds. NOTHING WORKED!
I dedided to change my ob/gym doctor (female, of course). She explained that one way to avoid the external dryness is to apply olive oil twice daily to the region! Imagine that! One of the main ingredients of my home-made salad dressing is also a preventive cure for female itch.
Three cheers for olive oil!
