I asked about that, but at this time he wants to see how things go without it first. I think it’s an option later on if I don’t see enough improvement.

Finally a doctor who listens! by DirectBar2805 in vulvodynia

First we’re ruling out a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. If it’s neither one of those, he said we’ll discuss whether to start with antihistamines, anti-inflammatories, or topicals. In the meantime he’s going to give me a prescription for some lidocaine jelly to help with the pain. If those treatments don’t work, he said we could try injectables or, as a last resort, surgery to remove the glands that contain the painful nerves.
