Episode 13: How to approach chronic vaginal and vulvar pain with Dr. Yasmin, Ob/Gyn

Vulvar and vaginal pain, with and without sexual intercourse, is not particular or specific to fibromyalgia. However, it is not talked about often enough and it can be very disruptive to a woman's life. I am chatting with Dr. Yasmin, a board Certified Gynecologist and Obstetrician who is specializing in intimate and sexual health of menopausal and postmenopausal women.
