I have had fibro for over 25 years. About 8 months ago I was having tremendous burning and pain in my viginia and went to 5 different OBG's. No one could figure out what it was but it was so bad I had to lay down and try not to move for weeks. I finally found a specialist to check me out. It took him approx. 30 second s to dx me.
I have Vulvoldynia. It's a nerve disorder in the vaginia that millions of women suffer from and don't even know they have it. When the doc dx'ed me I asked him why the other 5 doc's had no idea that I had this when it was so easy to figure out for him. He told me that a lot of OBGYN's have no idea about it because they didn't have any training on it in school.
Here is a list of symptoms:
1) Instense burning after sex. Kind of feels like a yeast infection but the pain is 10 fold. Vulvoldynia can also bring on yeast infection so if you get them a lot you might want to get tested for vulvoldynia.
2) The burning continues for over a week and gets worse.
3) The pain feels like it's way inside you when actully it's right on the entrance to your viginia.
Some times it is NOT brought on by sex but just appears one day. There is a treatment for it with use of creams and ointments.
If any one needs more info please send me a message. It blew my mind to find out women actully suffer from this thinking it's noraml because it's not normal to have your viginia feel like it's shooting out fire balls.
Besides the Vulvoldynia I also have horrible pain in either sides of my ovaries. I call it egg pain it's when you egg is dropping. It is a very sharp pain like someone is stabbing you with a knife. I just had it a few days ago and I was in bed with my heating pad and couldn't move.
I have a lot of problems in this area because I had cancer and that set me spining in to the deep dark h**l of menopause.
Please feel free to message me if you have more personal question and I'll try to help you in any way I can.
