Okay so I have a 4 month old son and are breastfeeding, about a month ago intercourse became very painful, not just dry, but it feels very tight inside,so I went to my OBGYN and he prescribed me premarin cream and it worked for about 3 weeks, after that when I used it the last time about 2 weeks ago, I started having very bad cramps, headaches, and I noticed my a little hair loss, which are all common side effects, so I quit using it, its not worth it to have cramps that bad to me. So now intercourse is painful again, Is there any other method that I can use or anything I can do to help this problem? Please any info you can give me will help. Thank you
