Hormonal Imbalance

Certain medications, such as oral birth control pills, can reduce the hormones available for use by the vulvar vestibule. To properly diagnose and treat HMV you must recognize the signs. Sign include painful intercourse, burning sensations during sexual activity, difficulty inserting tampons or objects into the vagina, symptoms that mimic a urinary tract infection.
