Understanding Vulval Discomfort...

You deserve to feel comfortable.

Vulval discomfort, pain and irritation affects many women at various stages of their life and causes stress, low mood and loss of libido.

By allowing time in our consultations, I can help you find you the best ways of alleviating symptoms and managing the condition, from life-style changes, creams and medications. We can explore the underlying causes, such as hormonal imbalance and vaginal microbiome disturbance, and take appropriate action.

This will prevent recurring thrush infections, bacterial vaginosis, urine infections, urine urgency and vulvovaginal discomfort and improve continence and your sex life. You should not be suffering in silence when there are some well-tested approaches to a more comfortable life.
