Posted , 3 users are following.
Ive been in pain now for over a year, ive been to the Doctors had swabs, nothing showed up. Ive been on vagifem pessaries for over a year, tried every cream available, lubricants ans stereoid cream initially. Nothing works. Im 58 so thought maybe to do with menopause but i went through this 10 year ago. I get pain all over my vulva, its like paper cuts, stabbing pain, prickly and itchy. The vaginal entrance is not sore and neither is penetrative sex but sex is not possible due to the stinging stabbing pain in the vulval area. The pain never goes away, i have better days but its always there as a reminder. I dont use scented soap, wash gels or laundry powder, i wear cotton knickers. My doctor just says i need to keep trying different over the counter creams till i find one that works. Im feeling very down as i dont see any end to this nightmare, can anyone help.

canesten has worked for me to calm intimate irritation,, even though it's never healed the problem for me, I still recommend it. I also at times feel like my vulva problems will never end, it has been almost a year for me too, what I can sincerely offer is my empathy. You're not a lone, so may of us have and are facing vulva problems, we've been tested, our doctors are not helpful, and we feel as though we are the most unfortunate woman on earth, but the truth it, it happens to a lot of women. You are not alone.

Thanks for your reply, ive tried Canestan, will give it another go. Ive tried just about everything except emuaid which is £ 52 its American, ive read reviews but cant afford it. I know im not alone but it gets depressing e time's as you will know. Keep hoping it will just go away.

you can get it on amazon it only cost 26 dollars and its a pill filled with boric acid and you take a pill applicator and stick it up use it for 7 days you might get watery discharge while using it but once your done with it you wont have it anymore.
