Appointment prep
Prepare for a vulvodynia or persistent pelvic pain evaluation
Chronic vulvar burning, stinging, or pain is often misdiagnosed as yeast infections or sexual dysfunction. Medvo helps you describe the sensory nature and request appropriate pelvic floor and specialist care.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Burning, stinging, or raw sensation in vulva (provoked or unprovoked)
- · Pain with touch, tampon use, or intercourse
- · No visible rash or infection on exam
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · Referral to vulvar pain specialist or pelvic floor physical therapist
- · Rule-out of infections, dermatoses, and neuropathic pain assessment
- · Discussion of multimodal pain management
If you've been dismissed
- · Repeated antifungals or antibiotics despite negative tests
- · Told it's 'all in your head' or relationship issue
