Vestibular probs

Hi i have recntly dx myslef after much research and endless doctors appts, I am certain i have vestibular vulvodonia (sp)?) , About a yr or so i started to have endless itching and intense burning , I have alays suffered from thrush and this was worse. I have been seen by my gp who said i had a prolapse but my consulant said no i didnt, M y consultant didnt see me front on only from the rear so i felt o wasnt examined properly. All my swabs are clear and im on vagifem for the burning, I have checked myself out using a mirror and Im convinced i have vestibular problems so i hace written to my gp to get referred yet again and i have asked to see a different consulant, I feel sore, swollen and i feel as though my vagina is falling out.

Do you have any actual discomfort INSIDE your vagina or is is all external? Or is it external discomfort that feels like it is coming from under your skin? I have had external itching and burning and inflammation for 2 1/2 years now. Can I ask how old you are and what brought all this on? Did it just appear suddenly? Or slowly over time?

Im 46 and get a general itch like thrush internal and external, The thrush feeling has been more intense over the last year with an awful burning so much so that id keep looking in the mirror to see what was going on, My skin at times has been raw and then in the last 2 months or so i could feel like a lump as if my inside were coming out and sitting low in my vagina, The doctor thought it was a prolapse but i have gone back and fore cos of the pain and i ended up researching things myself and im now waiting for another hospital appt. I also get swollen , I find vagifem pesseries help a little.

Have you had your hormones checked? Do you still get your periods?

Hormones fine and still get periods

Ok have they tested you every week for a month to see what your fluctuations are? As hormones vary throughout the cycle.

I'm guessing they have done swab tests.

Did you get told vagifem can actually cause yeast infections? Any form of estrogen makes you more prone to it. I work in Pharmacy and it's a common side effect. Some women get irritated by the ingredients too.

Are there any times where your pain/itching eases off or feels worse?
Do you suffer from inflammation or does the skin just look normal?

Your symptoms sound super similar to mine. Chronic itch with burn. Mine started after coming off the pill and getting what I thought was a yeast infection.

Can't offer any advice with the prolapse sorry. I'm 27 and have no kids. I hope someone else on here can help on that department, must be just awful

I was having the thrush feeling and itch way before i started on vagifem and bloods have been done on many occassions and swabs too and all is normal.. My skin at the entrance has been raw on times but mostly looks normal . Its a nightmare.
