Kristy – was the

surgery you had done considered a vestibulectomy? If not – does it have a

name?

My issues

with vulvodynia was caused by a surgical procedure to

the labia minora to remove excess skin. After a number of years

of searching one of the things I found out from my Pain

Management doctor (she's experienced with treating vulvodynia)

is that the damage could have been done by one of the

instruments during the surgery, the instrument to hold the other

part of the area back when the excess skin was removed: the

retractor. Makes sense because of where a lot of my pain issue

is from the nerve damage especially with the pain issue that has

creeped up there in the last 9 months.
