A member asked:

Is it possible to have low estrogen? i am breastfeeding i have 1 ovary (it has a dermoid cyst on it). if so can it cause itchy vagina?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Breastfeeding: One of the side effects of breastfeeding is inducing a low Estrogenic state. This is why many women do not have menstrual cycles while breastfeeding. Your dermoid cyst is unrelated and should be addressed by your Obgyn
