i have been experiencing vulva irritation/discomfort for almost 3 months. I've tried just about everything the doctors gave me. I have no stds, yeast, bacteria, skin problems, dermatitis. I'm starting to develop a slight aching in my vulva towards my thighs. I've read this is a possible symptom of vulvodynia. I'm in the process of making an appt. with a specialist in Boston because no doctor seems to know whats wrong and my ob gyn said it could be vulvodynia. i'd rather see a specialist who knows more about this problem but until then I was wondering who has vulvodynia and what medications/creams they are on to help with the symptoms? Are the medications personality changing or have risks? How has it helped you? i'm scared, nervous, depressed, and extremely anxious finding out if this is what I have and if there is hope in the future of feeling better and having a sex life again with my bf. I'm ONLY 19 and a student so this is just bringing more stress in my life! i need some advice! thank you also..i have not had sex since this all started because i feel so uncomfortable. Sex has NEVER been an issue for me i need some positive feedback. thanks girls!
