. . . or look to food allergies as its cause

I am a naturopathic doctor treating mostly female problems and imbalances, and I have found vestibulitis responds quite well when food sensitivities have been identified and eliminated. It’s another type of inflammation that seems to have a connection with overstimulation of the immune system.

So, I also build up the immune system so it doesn’t overreact. I use nutrients such as vitamin C, bioflavonoids such as quercetin or hesperidin, and sometimes a homoeopathic as well, such as Thymactiv - homoeopathic Echinacea. That usually minimises the inflammation and therefore the pain. The same is true with vulvadynia.- Brenda Gill, via e-mail
