Is Lidocaine Safe To Be Used For Symptoms Of Vulvodynia?
Hello. I have had symptoms of vulvodina for over three years. (I m now 62.) I had bad IC until recently. My bladder is doing quite well, but the other problem isn t going away. I was taking Elmiron, and recently stopped taking it. I have bad responses to estrogen cream. Could something as simple as lidocaine ointment provide some relief? Thanks!

Hello,
Lidocaine can be used for vulvodynia. You can also try xylocaine cream which can provide better pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
