Tricks for keeping the 'bits' happy

[OakLeaf]

I'm not criticizing what's working for the OP, with her doctor's blessing.

I did suggest that maybe there was something mechanical or systemic contributing to her issues that could be remedied less invasively. Even if the doctor is a cyclist, not all cyclists have the wealth of collective knowledge and experience that this board offers.

What I wasn't thrilled about was the tone of the post, advising intense chemical warfare as the #1 best solution for everyone.

Everyone DOES have to find her own solution, but choosing drugs as the FIRST thing to try is as wrong here as it is in psychiatry.

Agree. OP needs to recognize how rare her physician's advice is to use that particular type of drug even though I realize she spent time investigating other solutions initially.

I still wouldn't use that type of drug regularily in the women's nether regions/crotch for cycling long hrs. Some of us cycle for several hrs. up and down some hills several days per wk.

This is important, because newbie women looked to experienced women cyclists for safe, sound advice when returning to cyling.
