Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi -- You have no idea how happy I am to read this message that you have a GYN in Raleigh that you like. I just had that horrible experience with Dr. Z and I have in the past had such a hard time getting vaginal yeast/bacterial infections diagnosed. I have vestibulitis that is much improved with PT but I still get infections sometimes and I really need someone who will take the time to do the proper cultures, tests, etc. Do you have any idea if she does thorough examinations for cultures? She is familiar with vestibulitis? What kinds of treatments does she offer for it?

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I have never had any infections (KNOCK ON WOOD!!!) so I don't know if Dr. does proper examinations for cultures. If you want some culture done you should ask for it and she will do it. She is always thorough and professional. Back in 1998 she offered Elavil/Amitriptyline and Lidocaine for Vestibulitis. She has probably got more stuff to offer now. I don't really have Vestibulitis since I had the surgery, now I am dealing with nerve pain. Dr. is not a VV specialist, or a VV researcher like Dr. Zolnoun. When you first meet her, have a talk with her about your expectations. The thing about Dr. Zolnoun is that she has all this knowledge! I wish I had some way to pick her brain! --- In VulvarDisorders , " femifesto " w > > Hi -- > > Dr. Z and I have in the past had such a hard time getting vaginal > yeast/bacterial infections diagnosed. > > I have vestibulitis that is much improved with PT but I still get > infections sometimes and I really need someone who will take the time > to do the proper cultures, tests, etc. Do you have any idea if she > does thorough examinations for cultures? > > She is familiar with vestibulitis?
