use appear more likely to develop vulvodynia. (See: http://nva.org/fact_sheet.html.)
  • Vulvodynia's impact reaches far beyond the bedroom. Many women suffer 24/7, which makes sitting or wearing pants painful. Some cannot work. Young women fear they won't be able to have children. Many marriages end in divorce.
  • In addition to physical therapy and surgery, new effective treatments are available, including nerve blocks, topical creams and oral "pain-blocking" medications such as antidepressants (Cymbalta) or anticonvulsants (Lyrica). (See: http://learnpatient.nva.org/understanding_vulvodynia_4.htm.)

    • Courageous affected women and medical experts are speaking out to increase awareness and promote research. Please help NVA tell their stories.
