My daughter just phoned and her best friend was told by her doctor that she either has LSA or a STD, something about low estrogen levels, early menopause. I'm going to go do a search right now, but knowing that so many of you have medical backgrounds thought I'd put it up and see if anyone knows anything. My daughter is heading over to her friends, as she is a total wreck right now. Thanks everyone!! Laura

Does she mean Lichen Sclerosis et Atrophicus? this is not a bad web page (not great either) this is not life threatening but a good derm specialist or gyne is what she needs. http://www.health-science-report.com/vaginal-discharge/lichen-sclerosis/lichen-sclerosis-atrophicus.html Jeanette

How old is your daughter's friend? Is she married or sexually active? STD means sexually transmitted disease - the LSA can be confused with genital warts, which is transmitted sexually. The physician has probably taken swabs or tissue smears to determine which. The biggest problem with these disorders is the psychological and social effect the diagnosis has. They are treatable but the woman involved does have to be careful. If she is a young woman, she MAY have future problems with conception if the disorder is not treated. The best way to 'deal' with this is to be matter of fact about it. It sounds like this is a good time for a mother and daughter talk and information gathering. A phone call or visit to any of the public health units in BC is called for. Don't panic!

I can say that I have never heard of this one before. I could be one that has several different names. I hope your daughters friends get a good check up~ mgf~

Thanks gals. This girl is 31, has not been married and has been faithful to one boyfriend for the past 7 years on and off (the relationship I mean). The Dr figures its either LSA, a STD or early menopause due to low estrogen (think I said that before). She is such a sweet girl (woman) and desperately wants to be married and have babies. She had tons of blood tests today, and the internal exam. My daughter went over to sit with her this afternoon. Course her boyfriend said, we'll get through this' which isn't what she wanted him to say, don't know what she wanted, but my DD said she is terribly upset. I did check out the website and sent over some info to my daughter so she would know a bit before she went over, and I know the friend will be on the internet researching and if she's like most people, you tend to read the worst, or that's the part that sticks out most. I know my daughter and the other friends will be there for her to help her through this. And hopefully, they caught it soon and its a minor thing. This friend is like another daughter to me and I love her dearly. Being a mom, I just want to 'fix it' and I can't do much at all, but love her.

| After 7 years of being faithful to one guy, on and off, it is time to ditch him! Someone is not "faithful" if she has these issues. She is wasting time with him, I know, been there and done that!! Good luck to her. |

Oh Sandygirl, don't we know that. They get together for a few months, then break up and back together and break up and my daughter gets to be the one to pick up the pieces. She has told her time and time again, get over him, he's not worth it, he's never going to change and next thing you know, back together. She has talked him into going to counselling - imagine having to do counselling before you even get married cause you are having major issues. I just don't get it, shes a gorgeous girl, super personality, and she keeps going back to the same guy, who is a great guy but together they just don't work!

This may be her wake up call. If she has been faithful, it doesn't seem he has.

I think the hardest thing to tell some girls and/or women is that look this guy doesn't really love you ... why ... because you know if he did he would want to commit to you, he would want to spend time with you, he would want to be part of your life always, have children with you, make sure you were happy, share love with you ... after settling for the on again / off again relationship the first time that went from marriage to divorce ... then finding a man that was totally in love with me & I was totally in love with him ... the kind of guy that really loves you is so very much worth it !! If only they could see it ... instead of living through it like I did, I'm just lucky I found the other too in my lifetime! Tell her she deserves the best, and that includes in a man too!
