Imagine with us for a moment: you're gettin' cozy with a partner. Things are great—until yowtch! That initial penetration feels less-than-stellar. Or maybe your partner is only touching the opening, and that hurts! This is called superficial dyspareunia. Whether it's a skin condition, muscle tightness, or hormone-related—this program can help you find answers and some helpful exercises along the way :)
Take a crash course in vulvar burning from Dr. Jill Krapf from the Center for Vulvovaginal Disorders (because sometimes it's not just a yeast infection). From inflammatory causes (like infections or allergic reactions), to hormonal changes, to nerves, to hypertonic muscles—vulvar pain and irritation can have a lot of causes. Consider this your first step towards a less-burny vulva :)
