Carole is in her sixties. She has been suffering from vaginal pain for over forty years. In these forty years, her pain has differed over time. But, ultimately, she remembers her pain starting after having a yeast infection. She said she got treated and then her pain went away. But, it eventually came back. After having vaginal pain, it seemed to transform to bladder pain. Then, sometimes it would go away again and come back if she tried to have sex with her husband or if her back pain was bad. Sometimes her pain was mostly with intercourse; other times she felt pain all day.
Carole is happily married but hasn't had sex in several years. To help minimize her pain, she has tried several treatments over the years, but currently she is focusing on using a topical testosterone and estrogen cream made by her compounding pharmacy. Although for many years her pain has been relatively constant, this prescription seems to have calmed her pain significantly. Further, the testosterone has increased her sexual arousal.
