Cream for vagina?

[Hannah818]

Is there a cream that can be applied to vagina area which brings down inflammation and pain? I've looked online and can't find anything

Can't get doctors appointment

, says online that ibropofen gel not to apply to genital area, is there an alternative?

Thank you in advance

Hiya. My friend has vulvodinia with her endo and was prescribed cream for the pain. Im pretty sure its the same stuff I got from the pharmacist when my pain was really bad. Its medicated cream 2% lidocain. Often taking down the pain reduces inflamation too. Please note its not for internal use.

Thank you,il look into this cream , sounds great if it reduces inflammation and pain. Wish they'd invent something for internal use too !

When I had really bad problems internally and they ruled out an sti, i was given something for internal, but I dont want to say for definate it might have been Relactogel. That could be totally wrong though! I had 2 different gels in the past. They werent numbing creams but they helped lubricate internally if that makes sense. I remember putting the first one in was really weird and then I sneezed the whole lot shot out my vagina. I saw the funny side quite quickly.

Hi hanna

Iv been told by few friends n family vagina steam helps. Do your research on 'yoni steam' apply castor oil on your belly button

Dr wolf cream is really good. It's for internal use too it's very soothing. What. Job it all is.

Hi,

I have vulvodynia and use amitriptyline which helps the pain though it does takes a while to work as it has a cumulative effect and there are side effexts.

I was given dermol500 also as i had some eczema in that area too- the cream can be used as both a wash and a cream so it's 2in1.

Just some practical things that have helped me - comfortable cotton underwear, loose clothing, pads over tampons, nothing perfumed or aggressive when washing your intimate areas, keep hydrated.

Hope this helps a little! X

Thank you! That's really helpful, will look into that cream , I've swapped to eco friendly plant / bamboo based pads this week rather than usual supermarket plasticky ones, much more comfy
