I felt as if my wife was smoking in a vagina”

When the pain began, Tara Langdale- Schmidt didn't think it was serious. It was a pain that occurred every time she went to the bathroom or had sex with her husband.

It has done several surgical procedures over the years because of the struggle with endometriosis (genecological pathology where the internal layer of the uterus, which is replaced every month with the menstrual cycle, begins to grow outside the uterus). So she felt that her pain took place and hoped that it was fleeting.

But the pain got worse every day.

It seemed as if someone had been waiting for me at half a morning and was burning me with cigarettes inside my vagina at the same time. I was living with my husband and tried not to cry and destroy the moment. I was in agony. ”

She went to many doctors, some of whom were surprised by the occasion. Another part just pulled him out by not giving him a choice.

I had a doctor who told me to drink some wine, get an Advil and relax. Another, before examining the area, told me that he could cut the part that hurt me or give me antidepressants. What if I had STD or cancer? Of course I never returned to any of them. ”

Injured, disturbed and in agony, Langdale- Schmidt, who was 28 years old at the time, decided to do his own research. Once she entered into discussions about female health and several medical forums, she learned of APUvolophyniaʹ, a condition that causes chronic pain or inner embarrassment whenever vaginas are opened.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology defines Vuljvodina as a three - month or more - long vulda pain and is not caused by infection, skin disorder, or other medical issues. The situation may occur unprovable or come over time. Vulodadina can be found in various parts of the vagina. Pain can be constant or come and go. Often, it is described as a feeling of burning caused by sexual touch or pressure, introduction of a tampon, or long sitting. Pain, burning, irritability, and narrowness can make a woman uncomfortable whenever you have sex.

“This could be extremely weak. Some women are unable to wear underwear and pants because they have severe pain. It's a serious matter about life and it can be very difficult to deal with”,said Angie Stoehr, director of the Stoehre Centre for Bass and Intimacies.

Vulodadina was recorded in the medical writings for the first time in 1880, described as “supersity of the vagina” and <x2 source caused by painful relations”. Research shows that 16% of women in the United States suffer from vulodadina at some point in their lives.

Because of some factors, including the difficulty of studying such a sensitive issue, changes in diagonistic definitions and criteria, and the history of health conditions affecting women, research has been underestimated. In 2011, more than 80 researchers gathered for a conference on the study of Vojvodina at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in the United States.

The conference participants approved that the basis of evidence for this research is rare and there is not enough scientific evidence to create a consensus on the preferred methods of diagnosis and treatment. The report added that participants agreed to proceed with the expertise required by scientists in neurology, pain research and other areas who were interested in vulojvodina”, They said.

Eventually, the situation becomes a mystery. There are often no identifiable causes, and there is no equal treatment. Some research has linked vulodacy to autoimmune disorders, nerve damage, allergic reactions, chronic infections; Stoehr found. The risk of contracting Vulodadina is also raised by psychological problems, depression, and anxiety, as well as childhood events such as chronic stress or sexual abuse.

A recent theory has shown that the symptoms of vulodain may not stem from the body, but the brain, such as the case with other chronic disorders, has. Research has found that sufferers have more gray matter in their brain that causes pain and stress. In other words, the problem may not be in the hip area. It can depend on how the body signals.

As a result, many women try to find their solution. Knowing that vaginal dealers help expand the vagina and restore tissue flexibility, Langdale- Schmidt decided to become creative. From the previous experience of using the Neodymium magnet to reduce the pain of the neck without a backdoor after a car accident, she decided to put them together and fill them with magnets and use it 2 times a day in 2030 minutes.

Its use reduces pain during sexual relations by 60% and called the product “Vuva Magic Dillator”.

When he gave a secret to other women with the same pain, he was given messages like: “I never thought I'd be able to have a relationship again, you saved my marriage. ”

A small study has been done that proves the efficiency of magnetic therapy based on the idea that all living organisms exist in magnetic fields, and healing occurs when electromagnetic energy returns to balance. The neodymium magnet, which is supposed to increase blood circulation and relax extremely active nerves, plays a central role in Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years. However, various studies have revealed that there is no evidence that magnets alleviate pain or heal medical conditions.

People who take advantage of magnetic therapy also experience psychological relief, not only psychological.

There's not much good evidence in scientific literature on magnet and pain”, Stoehr said, suggesting the VuVa needle for patients suffering from vulodadina, a condition affecting the female's ability to engage in vaginal piercing.

It's something that won't hurt the patient. Because hip pains are hard to deal with, I encourage patients to try different treatments until they find something that works”, She said.

Vuljvodina, not only is it physically painful but it can seriously affect the emotional and mental state of women and their intimate relations.

Langale-Smidt said she was very lucky that her husband was very supportive during this period.

He was very understanding and did not encourage me to do things that caused me pain. ”

Meanwhile, she has met women who have not experienced the same thing.

I've met women who said things like, "My husband asked me for a divorce, and I don't want to live anymore. Or doctors won't help me. I feel burns 24 hours a day”, said Langdale-Schmidt.

This is a major rift in people's lives and may be social isolation, says Stoehr, who has had patients experiencing divorces for this reason. Others, however, have lost much time in working and cannot now return to the workplace because of the pain.

The names have come up with the question, there's something wrong with me or I'm just crazy.”, Stoehr shows.

There are several months to cope with the pain and treatment of the symptoms. But it may take time to find the therapy that fits each individual's organism.

It's important that women become their life's lawyers, especially chronic diseases that don't have many studies. And sometimes, if you're like Tara, you worry too much and you start to create something yourself”, It's over, Stoehr.

While Langale-Schimdt closed its history by sayingI'd talk about my vagina all day if I could help other women. I like to say I'm famous for vagina. ”
