My Saga

My story begins sixteen years ago on a vacation to the beach with my husband and young children. I took my five year old  on a bike ride. I of course was driving and she was in a seat on the back of the bike.  I was sitting on a very narrow andhard seat, peddling away. I was also eating fresh tomatos and drinking orange juice during the vacation.  The day after we arrived home, I awoke to severe pain in my vagina. I made an appointment with my gyn who said I had irritation and perscribed a hydrocortizone ointment to use for a few weeks.This did nothing for my condition. I was tested for all kinds of infections, but all the tests results came back negative. Finally ,one evening  my husband  placed an advertisement in front of me . H e didn’t say anything. I looked at it and just put it aside for a few weeks. I thought Ijust could not go see another doctor.   Finally. I decided to see what this one had to say.I made an appointment with Dr. Echenberg and this was the beginning of finding” the light at the end of the tunnel.” In the first fifteen minutes (itwas the first time during this whole experience  of  doctors) that someone was taking the time to listen to all  I had to say.  Dr. Echenberg diagnosed my condition as vulvadydia. I have been getting treatment from him and I feel much more comfortable.  I wanted to share my story in order to help other women  find help with this condition.
