Pain relief in vag area

I just came across this. I had vulva/vagina; surgery in January of this year, and everything is nicely healed out. However, I have constant pain at the lower part of the vaginal canal entrance and in the labia majora around the entire vulva. It is so bad, I would not even want to dream about any sexual activity. I saw my surgeon several times, but he tells me everything looks great an the pain is in my head only. But, he is a man! I finally decided to see a female gynecologist at the Mayo, and she took my pain for real. She prescribed pelvic floor physical therapy for me, and Valium .suppositories to be inserted into the vagina 2 hours prior to physical therapy. She also prescribed Gabapentin cream for topical application on the hurting areas 3 times day. She also wants me to daily apply estrogen cream onto the labia minora, the vulva vestibule and the vagina entrance. I hope that this treatment will take care of my pain.

Thank you @lindes for sharing your treatment story. I have been experiencing vaginal pain for about a year. I did not know there were Valium suppositories. In your post, you said they work when used prior to physical therapy. How long does the discomfort stay away? I never thought of Gabapentin. I don't have a Gynecologist here....just a pretty special and helpful PCP. Would you recommend a female to make sure you are understood?

May you be safe and protected from inner and outer harm.
