Vulvar and vaginal pain, with and without sexual intercourse, is not particular or specific to fibromyalgia. However, it is not talked about often enough and it can be very disruptive to a woman's life. I am chatting with Dr. Yasmin, a board Certified Gynecologist and Obstetrician who is specializing in intimate and sexual health of menopausal and postmenopausal women.
SOme highlights:
