I am writing as a mum of an 18 year old who has just been diagnosed as having vulvodynia . She had thrush several times when she was 17 and it all began from there. As a mum I am concerned about the psychological effects this will have on her. She has researched V and is well aware of the fight she has ahead of her. She is at the beginning, how can I help her? A referral to the specialist and the psychosexual counsellor has not been helpful. I will recommend that she now has her hormone levels checked and comes off the pill. Sex is not possible for her anyway. I am worried about her becoming depressed. She is so young.
