Re: Check out Pelvic Support Physiotherapy

[Guest guest]

Having IC, problems with the bowel such as Crohn's (as an

example), and endometriosis can cause pain in the same area as

vestibulodynia (formerly known as vulvar vestibulitis syndrome)

and doesn't mean that the patient has vestibulodynia.

Also, vestibulodynia can occur in patients with fibromyalgia (a

reason it's discussed in Dr. Starlanyl book about fibromyalgia).

Also, vestibulodynia is just a subcategory under vulvodynia just

like vaginismus. These are both symptoms just like vulvodynia

but doesn't tell you what's causing it. That's why it's

important to find the cause first because if one jumps straight

in to PT (if they do it) without knowing what is causing the

problem first it can do more harm than good to the patient.
