Vaginal burning

@mmoss, I went to four GYN doctors until the 4th said I have lichen sclerosis. This is a terrible disease. I don't know about neuropathy in the vagina, but your burning sounds like mine. Sometimes I have a yeast infection or cellulitis. I use a compounded cream to numb the area. It is the only way I can get relief. I sometimes sit on an ice pack. I use Halobetasol twice weekly and Premarin cream twice weekly. When I have flares, I use the Halobetasol more often. You need to look for a GYN who understands vulvadynia and especially, lichen sclerosis. I truly understand your pain and I have struggled with this for many years. It never seems to go away. I was told there is no cure for lichen sclerosis and based on my experience, I believe that. My best wishes to you as you search for an understanding doctor. @joybringer1

@mmoss I wonder if any of this information resonates with you and if you've heard of Vulvodynia before either in your own research or in your OB/GYN appointments?

oh this sounds horrible and feel for you...I have other issues - but once years ago used a vaginal cream, will try and remember what it was, started with a M. maybe Monistat? OTC after an antibiotic....well used it at bedtime and vaginal burning all night, couldn't very well remove the cream tried to wipe and not sure I recall but may have used an ice cube.... I went onto a website next day and dozens, scores of women complaining about same thing, although had used it before with no problem... just that one time was enough for me and I haven't yet read the suggested sites yet from moderator, but maybe someone on here has an idea to help or home remedy? just home myself from walkin clinic and strep throat so now to deal with that pain.....probably got from dentist a week ago.... never ends does it? J.

p.s. oh not sure what year this was posted but its in one of the sites listed by moderator.... ?????

In reply to @lizziemnz "Has anybody suffered from vulvodynia? I have extreme discomfort (burning and tingling..." + (show)
I had burning and itching that was very intense. My gynecologist said it was atrophy of the vulva from being post menopausal. Nothing he prescribed for me worked.
I had an appointment with my endocrinologist and he prescribed clotrimazole-betamethasone 1-0.05 % cream
It worked within 24 hours! I had tested negative for yeast, but this doc was sure this would work. It did!
I used it for 2 weeks and all is solved. Hope this or something works for you. I don't think you realize how much discomfort
you have unless you experience it yourself!!

Thank you for your reply. I just have burning. It’s intense unless I take pain meds. No itching so not sure if this would help.

This was posted by me this month, 2021.

I am experiencing this exact symptom now. Doctors don't know why except that they reference my vaginal athrophy and prescriped estrogen cream. I reacted badly and the inflamation was intense and last for over a week. Now I am back to just having sudden, flare-like symptom of inense itching and slight burning. I will ask about the clotrimazole-betamethasone, but am so discourage after trying so many things that not only didn't work, but made it worse. Thank you.

If it’s vulvodynia, one cause is too many oxylates. If you eat a lot of spinach, beets, chocolate, or other high oxylate foods cut back and see if the pain reduces. Look up oxylates and vulvodynia. Whatever it is, I hope you find relief!

I have those issues as well. I make vaginal suppositories using a candy mold, coconut oil, boric acid, and tea tree oil. The coconut oil is highly soothing and moisturizing, boric acid balances the vaginal flora and fights yeast, and tea tree balances the vaginal flora and kills bacteria. The relief is instant, and it is safe enough to use daily.

1/2 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
1 Tablespoon boric acid powder
15 drops pure tea tree oil

Melt the coconut oil by placing the jar in a bowl or pot of hot water. If you live in a hot place, it’s probably already liquid.

Add tea tree and boric acid to the melted coconut oil and mix well.

Pour your mixture into a silicon candy mold – but you can also use a little tin-foil boat if you don't have a candy mold, except you can slice them up once they are cooled, as the pessaries will be solid. Put the mold into the fridge to harden.

You can use it up to four times per day, keeping in mind that the bigger the piece you insert, the bigger the mess when it all melts inside your vagina. Using a panty liner can solve this. I use mine at night immediately before getting in bed.

Yes you can get neuropathy in the vaginia. Any where that there is nerves in your body. It has moved into my heart.
