I was not sure what fissures were or what the cause was. I did some research. The balance of the vagina could be upset by dryness. Typically this is caused by low estrogen levels. In this case a hormonal cream is prescribed. Your dr. gave you a corticosteroid, or topical steroid.
If you have bladder pain and cramping I would say your urethra is infected due to the upset of the vaginal environment. An infection of the urethra leads to urinary infection. Go back to your dr.
Bladder infections don't go away on their own, you will need antibiotics and possibly a hormonal cream instead of the steroid cream. Sable

Thank you both for your replies. He also put me on Vagifem (estrogen) suppositories the same day for the dryness. The Clobetasol was to heal the effects of the dryness on the outside. I read the side effects from both and the Vagifem can cause bloating, cramping and pain. I called the office this morning and was told to discontinue both to see if the pain subsides and call back in a few days.
