Worried about vulvar leison
Thinking that I had a yeast infection, because of itching and burning, I went to my family doctor on Mar. 27, 2006. I told her that
A while back you mentioned that there is a Vulvadynia specialist in Portland Oregon. Do you know his/her name? Thanks.
I have been diagnosed with Vulvadynia. There are alot of specialists in the eastern states and middle states, but in the western states there are only like two may be three. One in portland oregon and one in salt lake city utah. I hope this will help you find some relief.
Sounds like your docs are guessing. I would think they would need to do a lot more than just give you a yeast med without examining you.
I doubt yeast. It would have cleared up. I think you should check out Dr. Glazer's website: http://www.vulvodynia.com/
Also, check out the vulvar disorders group on yahoo. Elizabeth Stewart's book, 'The 'V' book. is the most complete, common sense book I've read on all sorts of problems in the vulvar/vaginal region. You really need to seek out someone who knows what they are looking at. Ask around at different docs offices. Ask them if they treat vulvar pain/diseases or if they know someone who does.
Keep trying. Somebody will be able to help.
