What is the cause of this strange pain after vestibulectomy?
Hello, my wife has been recovering from a vestibulectomy, a removal of the vulva's vestibule to treat vestibulitis, a type of vulvadynia. Though the actual surgical site is healing well, she's feeling a sharp pain and persistent itching inside her labia majora. We've asked the surgeon himself and he was mystified by the problem. We tried hydrocortisone as he suggested, but it's been weeks and the pain hasn't gone away. She'll be returning to work soon, but she's nervous she won't be able to work with the pain. What can we do?
Hello,
I just wanted to say that I have experienced exactly the same as your wife following my vestibulectomy for vulvodynia last march (2016); unbearable itching and sore skin. It is having a huge impact on my happiness and daily life. Similarly, my surgeon and dermatologist appear baffled. It isn't thrush as swabs are negative and does not respond to thrush treatment.
Did your wife ever get any answers, or help?
I look forward to your reply.
