Vulvodynia refers to chronic pain in the vulva (the external female genitalia) without any identifiable cause that lasts for at least three months or more than that. The external female genitalia includes the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris and vaginal opening. Homeopathic medicines for vulvodynia offer relief from symptoms like burning, stinging, and throbbing sensations felt in the region of the vulva.
In some cases the pain in this condition can be felt in the entire vulva (generalized vulvodynia). While in other cases pain occurs in a one certain place of vulva (localized vulvodynia), for example at the opening of vagina called vestibule. Along with pain a female having this condition may have irritation, burning, stinging or rawness in the external genitalia. This condition is chronic and can last anywhere from months to years.

I’m taking arnica extra strength tablets for general body pain but would like something more specific for vulvadynia pain. I have taken homeopathy before for many years and staphisgraphia is a remedy that has worked well for me in the past as has belladonna. From the list of remedies in your article both of these fit my symptoms of tender achy sore throbbing pain that’s worse when sitting. Should I buy these as single remedies and then monitor how my body responds. I look forward to hearing your view. Thank you

Hello, I’ve been having off and on vaginal yeast infections since June. I believe it’s now evolved into vulvodynia as anything that touches my vulva causes redness and irritation (tight pants, jeans, sex, vaginal exams, etc). I have slight white/yellow discharge on my underwear and a red and irritated vulva. I’ve tried many therapies, medications, and natural remedies to help without success. I’m hoping homeopathy can help me with this.
Thank you!
Hi Dr Sharma,
I believe I am suffering from this condition. I have had painful sex since I can remember, about the age of 20 and I am 45 now. I have had 5 children and I’m in absolute misery every day, I can’t live like this anymore. I don’t know what to do… I’m lost, and in pain. It hurts so bad, the only time I feel good is when I’m lying down. As soon as I stand or sit, it feels like stinging, burning, inflamed, cutting pain.
