Burning, stabbing, throbbing pain. Vulvodynia is often debilitating, regularly making patients choose only activities that can be tolerated, managing the amount of time they sit each day, fearing constantly that they will never be able to live without the pain.

In a case study of a 33-year-old woman who had “intractable chronic vulvar and anal pain and had to abstain from sexual intercourse and could neither cycle nor sit for more than 5 minutes,” the patient did not respond to standard treatments. After a 3 month treatment of a combination of topical baclofen 5% and palmitoylethanolamide 400 mg, three times daily, her symptoms decreased more than 50% and sexual intercourse was possible again without pain.

Patients suffer unnecessarily with incontinence, scouting for a restroom within 20 feet in public spaces. Conversations are distracted, clouded by thoughts of shame due to possible incidents that might occur right now.

In a study of 60 postmenopausal women, estriol 0.5mg was administered intravaginally 3 times a week. The results of the study showed complete remission of urinary incontinence in 1/3 of the women and another 1/3 of the women studied showed a 75% improvement in urinary retention.

Like clockwork, patients suffer vaginal infection after infection after infection for what seems like no apparent reason. On top of being tested regularly for STDs, they have tried everything, from antibiotics, antifungals, and odor control suppositories. Patients are often bogged down by vaginal itching and burning sensations, keeping them from living their daily life.

In a double-blind comparison of boric acid 600mg vs nystatin 100,000 units, cure rates for boric acid was 92% at 7 to 10 days after treatment versus nystatin cure rates at 64%. At 30 days, boric acid maintained a 72% cure rate versus 50% for nystatin.

PCOS diagnoses usually don’t manifest until later in life, usually after a long struggle with acne, weight gain, and excel facial hair that can expand everywhere on their face, creating a “man beard.” This means that shaving, plucking, trimming, waxing, or bleaching will not, cannot, fix the problem. It only makes it worse.

As early as in their 20s, patients worry about their risk of developing Type II diabetes and their inability to carry a child in the future. These risks are real: about 50% of women diagnosed with PCOS will become diabetic by the age of 40.

Clinical evidence

In a clinical study of 186 anovulatory women secondary to PCOS, recovery of reproductive abnormalities was achieved with a range of 59.7% to 80% across all 4 phenotypes with a combination treatment of myoinositol, L- tyrosine, folic acid, selenium, and chromium. Other improvements noted throughout the treatment were decreased androgen levels, improved insulin levels and glucose homeostasis, and improvements in BMI.
