The vagina opens into the vestibule which is a 1/2 inch rim of tissue that encircles the vagina and is derived from endoderm being sandwiched in between tissues on either side derived from ectoderm. When the vestibule gets sensitized, irritants from other sources can perpetuate the problem even though none of the external irritants may have been the initial inciting event. Often tight clothings, exercise, sweat, urine, soaps, tampons/pads, perfumes, detergents, body rinses, lotions, perfumes, shampoos, and conditioners can be stimulants. Each patient has their own profile of sensitivities, some patients has sensitivity to all these stimulants, others have sensitivity to just a few of them. Consider the following patient:

Overall I'm 80% better, this is great! I had been having burning and itching for the past year. After seeing four gynecologists plus my PCP with no resolution to my problem I had lost all hope. I kept thinking maybe it's me but it wasn't. Fortunately, the last gynecologist I saw gave me Dr. Fowler’s information. I decided to come in. It was the best decision! I can wear pants, I can actually exercise; could not do that at all...the sweating was a killer. Don't have itching in vaginal area any more either. All burning has resolved. Dr. Fowler's expertise have given me back my life. I would highly recommend any woman suffering from severe itching and burning to consult with Dr. Fowler." R. Phoenix, Arizona

The condition this woman describes is known as vulvodynia which simply means vulvar pain. It was first reported in the 1870’s and then mysteriously, no further reports occurred in the literature until 100 years later in the 1970’s. Since then the condition has returned with vengeance and the number of cases are still on the rise. Most gynecologists still believe the etiology of most cases of vulvodynia remains unknown. At Fowler Gyn International, Dr. Fowler believes otherwise. He offers advanced diagnostic testing and thousands of women have been successfully treated.

After 2 years of vaginal pain and 6 doctors, how does Dr. Fowler at Fowler Gyn International (FGI) get women like this better? Consider the following patient’s outcome:

“I had severe pain and discharge for two years. It caused me to run to bathroom due to the discharge and due to pain, unable to have intercourse for 2 years. I saw six docs; they all couldn't find anything wrong with me. The last doctor recommended Dr. Fowler. After 5 month of treatment on Dr. Fowler’s regimen he prescribed for me, I'm back to living a normal pain free lifestyle. I can hardly believe it. After seeing six doctors I couldn’t believe anybody could fix me.”  A. Lake Havasu City, AZ

What makes the difference? Many women ask Dr. Fowler why there aren’t more physicians who know how to successful treat vulvodynia. He explains that first off, there is only a small percentage of women who are unluckly enough to experience vulvodynia so very few patients present at typical Ob/Gyn offices. Secondly, most gynecologists have no interest in vulvovaginal disorders because they received little to no training in this area during medical school and residency. Third, there is no financial incentive to see these patients because they are usually in distress and require a lot of time to deal with plus the reimbursement for evaluating these conditions without associated proceedures is minimal. By making this topic the sole interest in his practice, Dr. Fowler’s has purchased advanced disgnostic equiptment and has a certified CLIA laboratory, Fowler Gyn International Laboratory, dedicated just to the tests needed for vulvovaginal patients. Consequencly, his practice draws patients from across the entire United States. Thousands of women have achieved excellent success with their individualized protocols based on their test results and personal hormonal profile.
