Vulvodynia, again, has received national recognition as the result of advocacy from patients who suffered from this painful condition. Vaginismus, too, can receive the same recognition and media attention. Vulvodynia can be the inspiration for contacting similar media outlets to discuss the condition of Vaginismus and, again, this treatment program in particular – the “cure”.
