Do you experience pain, burning, stinging or rawness around the vaginal area? Vulvodynia is chronic pain or discomfort around the opening of the vagina (vulva) for which there's no identifiable cause.  This condition can be so uncomfortable that some activities can feel unbearable, such as sitting for long periods of time or having sex. In this episode Dr. Jackie shares:

 

• Common symptoms of vulvodynia
• When to see your doctor
• How it is diagnosed
• Treatments to consider (including Botox!)
• Vaginal health dos and don'ts that can help
