Suggest Tests To Treat Vulvodynia
Question: I will be going for a consultation with a specialist for vulvodynia. What test should I ask for?
Brief Answer:
Cotton swab test.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Vulvodynia is a diagnosis of exclusion, a pain syndrome with no other identified cause.
You can ask for Cotton swab testing to identify areas of localized pain and to classify the areas where there is mild, moderate, or severe pain. The vagina needs to be examined, and tests, including wet mount, vaginal pH, fungal culture, and Gram stain are needed.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
