Does anyone suffer with Vulvodynia? I’ve been having problems for the past 6 weeks, had all kinds of swabs but nothing is showing up. Then yesterday I started with a sore patch of skin on my right side, very sore to the touch.
I’ve now been referred to a gynae but am worried about it being something more sinister.
I’d never heard of vulvodynia until I saw your post, so I looked it up. I’ve been having peculiar sensory problems in that area for the last couple of weeks and was wondering what it was. Vulvodynia seems to fit. I found information on this website Vulvodynia (vulval pain) - NHS
For me, it’s possibly something to do with menopause, so I think I’ll try using the hormone pessaries which the doctor gave me a couple of months ago. Otherwise, obviously it could be a nerve problem.
If the hormone treatment doesn’t work I’ll have to see the doctor. I hope you get some help soon. It’s really not a pleasant feeling.
No it’s horrible. It feels like someone’s rubbed sandpaper on my bits. The sore area on my side is making me worry I’m having a relapse of some sort too.
Could it be lichen sclerosis? I don’t have this, but my 2 sisters do. It is something than can happen with ageing…dry patches of inner skin . They use cream to ease the sore itchiness.
I’m 43 and not gone through the menopause yet. I don’t really itch at all, just have a sore, burning feeling. I’ve now been referred to the gynae although not sure how long I’ll need to wait for the appointment or what they might suggest.
