GYN: introitus

48 yo P2 (or 3?) woman with perineal neruoma excised for dyspareunia in January. Since then she has been massaging estrace (17-beta-estradiol) cream into the introitus for vaginal integrity.

Symptoms much improved (without the spicific site pain of a neuroma) but reports feeling like it tears.

Exam - with minimal stretch put on the introitus she does indeed develop a tear in the surface epithelium over the perineal body.

What would you suggest to apply to the perineal skin to enhance stretch?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
