I have been dealing with what feels UTI symptoms since early April.  7 courses of antibiotics later, a very painful cystoscopy, a yeast infection, BV, and now AV (and a 15 lb weight loss that I did not want).   During this entire time I have been using replens with the hope that some of the pain and burning would ease up a bit. But it didn’t. It turns out that the replens has been making things worse.  I have been having this very unusual white tissue like discharge  in addition to swelling, redness and severe burning. Turns out it is the replens!  Anyone else experience this? And any suggestions on a more natural product that has been successful at treating or at least reducing this horrible pain.  Anyone using Bioidentical hormones for AV?

    Hey everyone in this discussion, have you heard of vSculpt? It is a device designed to treat VA and urinary incontinence that uses “light therapy, gentle heat, and therapeutic vibration. The result: a stronger, rejuvenated pelvic floor; a reduction in bladder leakage; increased lubrication; a reduction in pelvic muscle pain”. A women in another discussion has has success with it. Check out the vSculpt website for more info. No idea how much it costs though.

      suki, I don't know where you found all that info. I went to their site and found nothing as specific as that re results. I just started a new discussion asking for people's experience with vFIT. This current topic (which was actually about Replens) has gone off in so many different directions it's difficult to keep issues and people straight. The cost in US is $395 dollars; don't know if it includes the gel.

      As AV makes penetration difficult how could using this be possible?

      I found the info on the vSulpt website under ‘discover’, then ‘how it works’.
