Vulvodynia and Vestibulodynia
Vulvodynia and Vestibulodynia are painful conditions that affect the vulva and vaginal vestibule, respectively. They are often caused by hormonal, inflammatory, or nerve-related issues, and can be present for many years before patients seek care. Diagnosis is made with a thorough exam of the painful area, and often involves blood work and testing for bacterial infection. Treatment is dependent upon the underlying cause of the pain, and can include hormone therapy, topical nerve/pain medication, or surgery.

“Gosh how do I start…
Dr. Babb saved my life. I was in chronic pain due to Hormonally mediated vestibulodynia and every doctor I went to didn’t know what it was… or they told me I was having an allergy. I was deeply depressed. My regular gynecologist gasped at giving me HRT (testosterone being the main component that I needed). Dr. Babb not only KNEW what was happening to me, he was the first doctor to say “I stand with you and you are not alone in this”.
I have continued to share his information with others, and although I flew from states away, it was worth every penny.”
