Happy to find support

Hello everyone my name is Shaila I have been suffering from vulvar vestibulitis vulvodynia since 2005 and was diagnosed in 2009. I saw more than 20 doctors always telling me I didnt have anything just a bad case of yeast took antibiotics anti fungal infection and nothing. I traveled to Houston tx to where I was diagnosed. I then began having marcaine injections (nerve block and that helped me more than anything. What is happening now is that I am starting to get discharge again. The one that has never gone away completly. Its very gross it burns badly and my vagina is burning 24.7. I dont know what to do. Any advice does anyone suffer from this burning discharge also and no infections.

Hi Shaila - so sorry you are suffering and hope you find some support and solace here.

I had burning discharge (with no infection) when my pain was at its worst and I found smearing Vaseline petroleum jelly (the pure stuff) around the vestibule and vagina entrance (which was where I felt the pain) helped a lot as it acted as a barrier. It's about the only thing I can tolerate down there. I also use it when I have my period and am wearing a sanitary pad as it helps prevent irritation then too. (If your burning is more right inside your vagina then Vaseline may not be suitable - I haven't tried it right inside).

Thank you very much!! My pain is internally but I will try some on the outter surface thanks!!!!

Hi,
You could try a lube called yes, it's very natural and can be used as a moisturiser and it's safe to use internally. There is an oil based one and a water based one, I often use it and it can help with the burning sensation.

Hope that's helps
