Does Vulvodynia affect your sexual partner?

I have been dealing with this for 10+ years. I am almost 26 and this started when I was 15. I have constant burning feeling in my vulva area, sometimes things make it worse but it is always there. Rain or shine. I am being told I have Vulvodynia....the only thing that is keeping me from accepting this is that my boyfriend complains about his urethra being irritated feeling after having sex with me and he's not the first boyfriend to complain about this. I have been tested for every possible thing out there and everything comes back as fine. Has anyone else had sexual partners complain about this?

Do you have constant pain and tenderness or just constant burning? I am so sorry you have suffered with this for so long
My husband has never mentioned having urethra pain after sex.

Basically just constant burning and knowing that its affecting my boyfriend is killing me...It's one thing that I have deal with this discomfort on a daily basis but knowing that I'm passing it on makes me feel like I can never have a normal relationship or kids or anything...I just feel like my life is passing me by and I can't even enjoy it

I completely understand. I am 25 years old and married. The pain stared for me when I was 20 after 6 months of being on the birth control pill and 2 months after marriage. I feel horrible for how this impacts my husband's life, but he stands by me and NEVER complains. If you ever want to talk you can private message me. <3

Also, if your burning is caused by vulvodynia there is no way that the burning could be passed to your partner. So no need to worry about that!!

Yes, that's why I wanted to reach out to other's who have been diagnosed with Vuvlodynia...It's like having chronic pain in your shoulder just because your shoulder touches someone else's shoulder doesn't mean that they're going to start having shoulder pain...that might be a bad example but that is my point, it's like doctor's don't want to listen to me whatever I have it's affecting my partners too over the years it's been about 5 boyfriends that complain after having sex with me... and my most recent gyno I was telling her that my boyfriend is complaining about having a burning or irritation feeling in his urethra after sex and even days later and she said well maybe something is wrong with him and that she doesn't specialize in guys...it's so frustrating he was fine before he started having sex with me there was nothing wrong with him I know it's because of me

Have you been tested for Strep B? Sometimes this can be a cause for burning, but it is not a test that is regularly ran.

No I haven't I'm not currently seeing a new doctor, I need to get a referral from my family doctor.. Thanks for your replies and suggestions it has helped

I am glad to help in some way! Best of luck to you
