Vulvar Vestibulitis is a condition which causes redness and pain of the vestibule.

Vulvar Vestibulitis - also referred to as "Vestibulitis," vulvar pain, painful vulva and Vestibulodynia, is an inflammation of the vulvovaginal skin and the mucous secreting glands found in and around the vulva. The mucous secreting glands are called the lesser vestibular glands.

Vulvar Vestibulitis may include all the area around the opening of the vagina but is normally seen in the lower part of the vaginal opening.

Vulvar Vestibulitis occurs in women of all ages. It can occur in women who are sexually active and also in women who have never been sexually active.

Many women with this problem have suffered physically and emotionally for months or years, have seen a number of physicians, and have tried many unsuccessful treatments in search of relief.

What are the signs and symptoms of Vulvar Vestibulitis?

* Severe pain with pressure (for example: biking, exercise, tight fitting clothes ).

* Vaginal entry such as tampon use or intercourse.

* Burning, stinging, irritation, or raw sensation within the vestibular area.

* Vestibular redness

* The urge to urinate frequently or suddenly.

How is Vulvar Vestibulitis diagnosed?

Your doctor or health care provider will examine the vulva and vestibule to identify the common skin changes seen with Vulvar Vestibulitis. Pain is usually felt if the vestibule area is touched with a cotton tipped applicator. A sample of your vaginal discharge is collected and tested to rule out infection.

The following factors have been associated with Vulvar Vestibulitis:

* HPV (Human Papilloma Virus)
* Chronic Yeast Infections
* Chronic bacterial infections
* Chronic changes of pH (acid-base balance in the vagina)
* Chronic use of chemicals/irritants such as detergents, soaps, spermicides or lubricants.

What is the treatment for Vulvar Vestibulitis?

Treatment may include any of the following:

* Follow the Guidelines for Vulvar Skin Care
* Steroid Ointments

How it is used: A thin layer is applied to the vulvovaginal areas.

How it Works: Decreases redness, irritation, and burning. Caution: Use only as prescribed by your doctor. Overuse may result in thinning of the skin which will make your problem worse rather than helping it.

* Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) may be used in some cases as determined by the severity of the symptoms you have. TCA is a chemical that is used to destroy small areas of the irritated skin allowing new healthy skin to grow in its place.

* Interferon Injections are used to increase your body's response to infection.

Helpful treatment hints for Vulvar Vestibulitis:

* Vitamin A and D Ointment How it is used: Apply to the areas of discomfort.
How it Works: Protects the skin, decreases irritation, heals, and soothes.

* Lidocaine Gel may be prescribed after initial treatment.

How it is used: Apply lidocaine gel to the vulvovaginal areas of discomfort.

How it Works: Numbs areas before intercourse.

Caution: After applying, wait until area becomes less sensitive before intercourse. Burning may occur for a short time ( 5 to 10 mins.) after the gel is applied.

* Witch Hazel Pads:

How it is used: Apply to the vulvovaginal areas of discomfort.

How it Works: Decreases burning and irritation after intercourse and urinating.

* Cleansing Bottle - Pour plain luke-warm water over the vulva after urinating to remove urine from irritated area.

* Calcium Citrate Tablets- How it is used: Take orally 1200-1800mg. elemental calcium every day. How it Works: Thought to decrease certain crystals in the urine which may cause burning.

How it Works: Increases the acid content of the urine to decrease bladder irritation.

* Limit High Oxalate Foods - May decrease amount of oxalate crystals in urine. Oxalate crystals cause urinary symptoms such as the urge to urinate frequently or suddenly.

* Baking Soda Soak- Soak in luke warm bath water with 4 to 5 tablespoons of baking soda to help soothe vulvovaginal itching and burning. Soak 1 to 3 times a day for 10 to 15 minutes. If you are using a sitz bath, use 1 to 2 teaspoons of baking soda.

COMING SOON.....
Femgyn Health's INIPADS!
A Tampon that's NOT a Tampon!

Femgyn Health's Inipads are like a pantyliner - but NOT a pantyliner.....

Femgyn Health's Inipads are like a tampon, but not a tampon!

Our new Femgyn Health's Inipads are similar to the previous "inter labial pads" in that they are placed between the labia minora (smaller lips) of a woman's vulva, on the outside of her vagina, and not IN the vagina (see picture below) like tampons are.

Best of all, our Femgyn Health's Inipads are made from 100% certified organic cotton, the safest and best material that can be used for feminine hygiene.... with no adhesives or harsh chemicals ever used!

Our Femgyn Health's Inipads stay in place naturally in the "interlabial" space between a woman's labia minora without any harsh chemicals or adhesives, without shifting or bunching like menstrual pads and pantiliners.... Our Inipads won't dry out a woman's vagina like typical tampons do, especially toward the end of each menstrual period. Finally, and best of all, our Inipads won't pinch your vagina or cause irritations of your vagina - not to mention the microscopic cuts inside of the vagina, the way tampons do, especially when inserting and removing a tampon from the vagina up to 4-6 times/day!

Women use our Femgyn Health's Inipads during their menstrual periods or for other feminine hygiene reasons, such as vaginal discharge or urinary leakage.

Femgyn Health's Inipads don't overly absorb or cause vaginal dryness problems since they aren't worn in the vagina.

Femgyn Health's Inipads absorb like tampons worn inside the vagina, but are never inserted in the vagina like tampons - where a woman's vagina frequently becomes excessively dry toward the end of her period, due to the drying properties of tampons.

Femgyn Health's Inipads have two absorbencies which are our "Light Inipads" and our "Regular Inipads."

Femgyn Health's Inipads will never bunch up or shift around like the typical menstrual pads and they are very comfortable to wear, even when sitting for long periods!

Femgyn Health's Inipads are usually replaced when urinating, and can be safely flushed down the toilet or wrapped and thrown into the trash.

Remember!!! Femgyn Health's Inipads are made from certified organic cotton - and NOT made from the same materials commonly used in the leading feminine hygiene brands of tampons and menstrual pads. This means that our Femgyn Health's Inipads are great for you and great for our environment!
