Patient Stories

Compounded hormone therapy is one of few treatments that helped my symptoms.

I am a woman in her twenties who has struggled with daily unprovoked vestibulodynia symptoms since 2021. After seeing many doctors and trying many treatments without relief, I finally saw improvement after applying compounded estradiol testosterone cream for several weeks. I have been using it for around 2 years now and have not noticed any negative side effects. When my cream expired unbeknownst to me, my symptoms severely worsened until I noticed the expiration and replaced the medication, at which point I was able to recover after reapplying it for a few weeks. I am convinced that compounded hormone therapy has enabled me to continue to live my life without constant pain and that not being able to access this treatment would severely impact my quality of life. I hope that this treatment continues to remain available for the many young women who suffer with this condition and have few alternative treatment options that truly make as much of an impact.
