    Hello

    For me personnally it was emotional
    Started few years after sexual abuse
    I had years of infections but nothing helped
    Then years of no infection evidence, but burning of my skin inside

    And it just went away over time but i csn not tell you what happened exactly

    I did diffenrent therapies, counseöing, somatix experiencing, homöopathie

    On the physical level it helped also to Balance my hormones with Cremes and homöopathie as i had very low Libido, breast tension and no natural lubrification because of too low hormones, what increased the burning

    It was always better in the middle of my cycle

    And when the symptoms disappeared, as soon as i only tried to have sexual intercourse again,few days after, all sensations came back for weekes

    So that was the prove

    Since years i just accept to love sexuality differently, i don t go much in the sexual abuse topic anymore and since then it is ok for now

    Comes back from time to time but shortly and low intensity

    Even if one has not experienced sexual abuse, i think there can be a lot of other things linked emotionally to vulva symptoms

    Thank you for this response! Over time dealing with these sensations and discovering TMS, I realized that I had a lot of anxiety based around sexuality and my female anatomy. I would think about it all of the time and I was weary about allowing partners to touch me, etc. so it’s no wonder that when I developed chronic TMS symptoms, it was around my pelvic area. It has gotten so much better over time and I barely think about it. I have small lingering symptoms but they aren’t something I really notice or give attention to anymore. I know eventually they will be completely gone and I’ll forget they were ever a thing. They don’t scare me at all anymore and honestly, symptoms or not, I consider myself a success story based off of the fact that I am no longer in fear of my body or symptoms. I know what this is and I know that I am 100% okay.

    There will always be symptoms as long as our brains are alive and aware of the reality of living this life. Success is all about our response and our ability to live our best lives no matter what, and by that measure, YES, you ARE a Success Story, my dear!
