Your visit to the gynecologist has ended with you thinking that you’re crazy. You’ve got vaginal burning, pain, and rawness that won’t go away. Your genital area may be red and irritated looking. Your doctor has said that there is no infection, nor any other disease that is causing the problem. You’ve tried creams, over-the-counter yeast infection treatments, and every other itching treatment available. It’s not in your head; you are not losing your mind. It could be vulvodynia.

As Awareness Grows, So does Diagnosis and Treatments:Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (VVS) is a subset of vulvodynia that is characterized by severe pain during attempted vaginal penetration to pressure localized to the vulvar vestibule (see diagram), and redness(erythema) of the vulvar vestibule. A subset of vulvar vestibulitis is called vestibulodynia, which combines the three symptoms with constant pain at the vestibule. Increased awareness of VVS has led to exciting new research. This review will examine current concepts regarding the diagnosis, etiology, and treatment of VVS.

1. What is sexual medicine?
Sexual medicine means different things to different people. To some it conjures up images of intense therapy sessions delving into your sexual past and upbringing, whereas to other individuals it represents a complete medicalized approach to sexuality. Others still take the approach of a comprehensive yet dynamic definition.

Michelle couldn’t believe it. It was 11 pm Thursday night and she was feeling itching and burning in her vagina. She started feeling symptoms yesterday and to ward off the yeast infection Michelle had eaten three yogurts and for good measure drank one-half gallon of cranberry juice. Didn’t help. Now she felt like she was really on fire. The timing couldn’t be worse. She was planning to leave on Friday afternoon for a romantic weekend she and her husband, Scott, have been looking toward. Michelle was frantic with indecision. Didn’t know what to do. Should she call her gynecologist? Would her gynecologist even see her tomorrow - even if she begged? Should she go to an all-night pharmacy and get a yeast cream? What!!!! |

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina and can be caused not only by infections, as many women believe, but by other problems including natural hygiene problems. |
