Vulvodynia
Vulvodynia and Endometriosis
Many women who are diagnosed with endometriosis may also have other co-existing conditions that contribute to their symptoms of pelvic pain. Unfortunately, when women experience pelvic pain over a long period of time, there can be the formation of pelvic muscle spasticity and nerve sensitivities. Vulvodynia occurs when there is an increased sensitivity of the vulvar tissue. The Endometriosis Treatment Center of America recommends a comprehensive evaluation for women with vulvodynia to improve their quality of life by restoring normal anatomic function. We will employ multi-modal techniques to help women with the endometriosis condition.
