This may be urethritis, or vulvodynia (vulvar pain syndrome), or even
interstitial cystitis. If your GYN cannot diagnose and treat, consider
a urogynecologist or a urologist familiar with the diagnosis and
treatment of these syndromes. These conditions are treatable but a
different approach is necessary.
