Hormonally Mediated Vestibulodynia

Experiencing pain at the vaginal opening?

When hormones shift — from birth control, breastfeeding or menopause — the tissue at the vaginal opening can become thin, sensitive and painful. Targeted topical hormone therapy, applied consistently over several months, can restore comfort.

Common signs

  • Sharp pain at the vaginal opening with penetration
  • Redness or sensitivity of the vestibule
  • Started after hormonal birth control, postpartum or menopause

How we help

Every plan starts with listening. We review your history, examine gently and only with your consent, and order labs when they'll change the plan. Then we combine the right treatments — often more than one — and follow up until you're feeling better.
