I have had a GYN problem for 30 years. I was told at that time there was no cure but to avoid pain and discomfort for me to not wear panties or pants. At the time my job required that I wear pants or my rear would be showing on a daily basis due to doing containments on developmentally disabled clients who were a danger to themselves and others. I have been to Stanford Hospital in 2016 and there still is no cure but topical medication to help slow the progress. Then on 9-10-16 I went to a new GYN explaining my problems, this new Dr. informs me he does a procedure in his office, it takes two or three treatments with a laser and I am cured of Lichen Sclerosis. So I ask how much is each treatment? He tells me $1000 per treatment. I tell him to let me think about it. Now if these treatments work, it is well worth the money, but why didn't the Dr. at Stanford mention them to me? So I am thinking maybe I should go on line and ask a Dr. I am so glad I did. Not only did I save myself from future damage and harm but I saved $3000 bucks as well. So yes, by all means, go on line and ask your question, it just may save your life. Pamela Marberry
