Anaesthetic Cream
Hello ladies, wondering if i could ask for help. I have vulval burning/itching and pain at the entrance to my vagina when having sex (i dont know if i have vulvodynia, vestibulitis or what...my gyne didnt know anything and didnt even suggest those conditions or even tests to find out what it could be. Useless!)
Anywho, i have an anaesthetic cream as i know its suggested to women who have these symptoms. Thing is, its also antiseptic (germolene) and im afarid if im using it regularly, it might harm the friendly bacteria in my vagina (tho im only using it on the outside) so im wondering, even tho it does seem to work in numbing the area (even helps my painful urethra sometimes) i wondered if anyone could suggest a better one? a gentler one maybe thats been really usefull for you????
Any help would be greatly appreciated as im forgetting what painless sex feels like!

Thanks do they have anaesthetic in too? No my partner and I don't use condoms and it doesn't matter which position we are in. Some positions help my urethral pain but not the vulval burning unfortunately :(
Try a hemorrhoid gel. They work really well. I am wondering if your partner is using a condom? These often irritate women's vulva greatly. Could it be the position you are doing too? Again different positions can irritate our bits.
Anyway give the hemorrhoid gel a go, it is very soothing and numbing and isn't likely to cause any bad reactions.
