Episode 13: How to approach chronic vaginal and vulvar pain with Dr. Yasmin, Ob/Gyn

Vulvar and vaginal pain, with and without sexual intercourse, is not particular or specific to fibromyalgia. However, it is not talked about often enough and it can be very disruptive to a woman's life. I am  chatting with Dr. Yasmin, a board Certified Gynecologist and Obstetrician who is specializing in intimate and sexual health of menopausal and postmenopausal women. 

SOme highlights:

5:20 - model of Dr. Yasmin's practice (both in office and virtual)

7:00 - the burden of pain in women with vulvodynia

9:13 - Dr. Yasmin's approach

12:52 causes of pain

14:10 approaches to treatment (hint: it may or may not involve injections!)

20:55 success rate of resolution of pain in Dr. Yasmin's hands

25:40 the switch of microphone and I answered some of Dr. Yasmin's questions :-)
