Burning pain felt in vagina and painful intercourse. “It felt like someone was cutting me in half at the 6 o’clock mark and burning me with a cigarette inside my vagina at the same time. Sex was agony.”
“Some women who have this condition can’t even wear underwear or trousers because the pain is so intense.”
Less understood condition. “I literally had one doctor tell me to drink some wine and take an Advil and just relax.” “Is there something wrong with me or am I just crazy?”
“Not only is vulvodynia physically painful, it can take an emotional and mental toll on women and their most intimate relationships, as well.”
There is often no identifiable cause and no specific medications for vulvodynia treatments.
Acupuncture can help reduce vulvodynia.
