Is there a treatment or cure for vulvodynia?
While there is no cure, there are a number of treatment options for vulvodynia. These can include advice on general vulvar care, topical and/or oral medications, physical therapy exercises, injections, biofeedback, or even surgery in some specific cases. Although no single treatment is effective for all cases, a multi-faceted approach to prevent and reduce symptoms can improve quality of life. you and your health care provider should work together to develop a strategy of treatment that works best for you. Many women find that wearing only cotton underwear, not wearing panty hose, or tight-fitting jeans or other clothes around their pelvic area; using only white, unbleached toilet tissue and 100% cotton sanitary products (tampons and pads); washing their genitals frequently with water; and avoiding using creams, soaps, douches, or deodorants on your vulva also helps. What is important is to find a low stress strategy for you that reduces the pain and discomfort.
