 Posted: 03/10/07 - 12:32 Post subject: Skin peeling off clitoris, what's wrong with me? |
  |
|
| Can anyone help diagnose what's wrong with me? I've had severe vaginal pain on intercourse for 7 years now, which was diagnosed as vulvodynia. Then a year ago all the skin peeled off my clitoris, leaving it like a raw, open wound. It's so agonizingly painful that I cannot have any kind of sexual contact, work, sleep or even get dressed. I have not been able to leave the house in 4 months now, except to attend doctor's appointments. I have lost my job and my boyfriend has left me, both as a direct result of this condition. I've seen doctor after doctor but none of them seem to have any idea what's wrong - I've been tested for STDs twice (all negative) and tried antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and various allergy/steroid creams, none of which had any effect. They have refused to do a biopsy or just remove my clitoris altogether and I feel like I just can't live like this any more. I'm missing out on everything that makes life worth living. If I can never have a relationship, children, a job, go out with friends, etc., what's the point of being alive? I can't stand the thought of spending the next 50 or 60 years housebound, alone and in terrible pain every minute of every hour of every day. Please help. |

Sounds like your team of doctors are disregarding you. I've been going through the same thing for 2 years now. I think I have VIN or vulvar cancer, but the doctors refuse to biopsy my clitoris. Meanwhile, things are getting worse.
I feel for you. How old are you? Do you think it is possible you have VIN or vulvar cancer.
Also, what is there reasoning for not removing your clitoris? |

lookup vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia or VIN or vulvar cancer.
Advice rooted in personal experience: never see a doctor who hasn't treated/confronted/cured the condtion you think you may have. If a doctor has never performed a surgery required to fix you up, he will tell you that it is everything else besides that one condition that would require that surgery.
Best of luck. |
