[Guest guest]

Hi Tom,

Just starting to explore PT as a treatment option for my issues. If

itching/rawness is my biggest symptom, can PT help?

Thanks for your input.

Emma,

Is the itching a rawness your only issue?

Do you have pelvic pain, sacral pain, difficulty or pain with BM?

Painful intercourse?
