Vaginal and pelvic discomfort

Has anyone had problems in the vagina area. I am seeing gynaecologist and urologist, one says it’s bladder and the other thinks vulvadynia. I have been told sometimes chemo and radiotherapy can affect this area. 

Any advise or treatments would be good. I am feeling very desperate at the moment. I am so uncomfortable. 

  • I'm sorry to hear about the problems you're having down below Debs. This must be very distressing, but hopefully your medical team can get to the bottom of this soon.

    I'm sure some of our members who have contended with similar issues will be along soon to offer their thoughts and advice, but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to support you.

    Stay strong Debs and fingers crossed you'll get some answers and relief from this pain and discomfort soon.
