Is it safe to use estrogen, progesterine, and testoterone topically for vestibulodynia?

ASKED by Intern234 on October 30, 2009 - 9:22am

Are there any fans of (doctor's name edited by mod) of San Diego out there? He has prescribed a very healthy dose of topical hormones for my vestibulodynia. I have suffered from this for 20 years.

eight years of pelvic pain, with no concrete diagnosis; do you know Dr. Andrew Goldstein?

ASKED by Judi on October 4, 2009 - 11:57pm

I've suffered with chronic pelvic pain for nearly eight years. I've been told I'm probably dealing with two pain issues, one being vulva or 'vestibule pain, and perhaps a nerve entrapment.

Alexandra's Story - A Ray of Light After 10 Years of Pain

SHARED by Alexandra C on September 25, 2008 - 4:53pm

I can say it - I have vulvodynia. For me that means I experience sex as an intense burning, like scraping a knife over a raw patch of skin or squeezing a watermelon into your nostril. Not fun, to say the least. And it's not just pain with sex. Tampons, jeans, riding a bicycle, and excruciating pap smears leave both me and my doctor in tears.

Vulvodynia: My Tracks to a Cure

SHARED by Faf on October 2, 2008 - 9:12am

The first day I had sex again I cried. But this time it wasn’t because I was in pain. The uncontrollable tears came from what felt like years of my life lost to vulvodynia and now finally having a chance at a pain-free life. I don’t know how I got through my trial with vulvodynia, there were times I really felt like letting go. It was the most horrible period of my life and now all I want to do is to help other women from ever going through the torture I went through to becoming cured.

What's Helped My Vulva

SHARED by flashcat on September 27, 2008 - 9:27pm

Okay, so, I've had this condition chronically since 1987. Seen a lot of doctors, including so-called specialists. Tried a lot of treatments. I steered clear of surgery. Topical mycolog cream helped for awhile but eventually, over time, it actually made things worse. Dietary changes have been huge in treating this pain. However, it's also been quite a rat's nest of confusing food lists and reactions in attempting to really pin down what's irritating food-wise and other culprits. A relatively low-oxalate diet, as supported by the Vulvar Pain Foundation, has helped to a degree.

I want to share this in the hopes that it will help someone or more of you who this would apply to. I know I'm not so unique so hopefully knowing what worked for me will help you as well.
