			<description><![CDATA[The most unique feature is the use of advanced diagnostic testing with qualitative Vaginal Fluid Analysis testing (VFA Test). Other gynecologists continue to use the century old technique of Wet Preparations. Fowler Gyn International Laboratory is CLIA certified and utilizes reagents, staining and quantification techniques with analysis under phase contrast microscopy. It appears that Dr. Fowler is the only gynecologist in the US that has CLIA certified laboratory dedicated to the complex analysis of vaginal constituents. Moreover, Dr Fowler discovered the etiology  of a set of related chronic vulvovaginal conditions; vulvodynia, chronic vaginal bacterial infections, recurrent yeast infections, urinary frequency...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[FGI deals with with vulvodynia characterized by burning, rawness and/or stinging and pain with insertion of tampons, pain with insertional intercourse, as well as the problem of the vaginal caliber being too tight and tearing or the vagina too short with penis hitting the top of vagina.  Also, FGI treats recurrent bacterial and/or chronic yeast infections, recurrent bladder infection without urologic cause, chronic vagina discharge and/or odor and urinary frequency and urgency without a UTI. All of these vulvar skin symptoms come from the same etiology: vaginal dysbiosis. Vaginal secretions which had been neutral, now are caustic. The secretions do not...]]></description>

Look how many women have got their life back because of you.”

			<description><![CDATA[As a vulvovaginal specialist, I’m often asked, why did my gynecologist not know how to treat me? This is a frequent question of women with chronic vulvovaginal symptoms consisting of  vaginal discomfort, irritation, itching, burning, discharge and/or odor. Gynecologists commonly attributed these symptoms to recurrent bacterial or yeast symptoms. While excessive bacteria and/or yeast my be present in the vaginal secretions, this is generally not THE problem, but a reflection of the underlying abnormality. The problem is that these women are experiencing symptoms due to Altered Vaginal Micro-flora (AVMF). These patterns are not contagious or infectious but shifts in bacterial...]]></description>

Many women with vulvar irritation manifest as itching, dryness, chafed and/or variable degrees of soreness are commonly told by their gynecologist, often without any proof, than heavy yeast. It has been Dr. R. Stuart Fowler’s experience as a vulvovaginal specialist for the past two decades and having seen thousands of women with these symptoms, the underlying problem is usually NOT yeast. Yeast may be present and causing symptoms but this is just a reflection of the underlying problem. Consider the following patient:

			<description><![CDATA[Many women with vulvovaginal symptoms of itching and burning are often told by there provider that on physical exam there is nothing wrong, that the tissues are normal. Women with these symptoms know that their problem is real and they seek the opinion of other providers who often tell them the same thing. Then there are providers who surmise that it must be some type of vaginal infection and so they prescribe antibiotics but are not sure what they are treating. Consider the dilemma of the following patient:

			<description><![CDATA[Some women get symptoms of bladder infections (UTI’s) but on evaluation the urine cultures keep coming back negative.  This can be perplexing to the patient and their physicians alike. Consider the comments by such a patient that presented to Dr. Fowler at Fowler Gyn International in Phoenix Arizona.

“When I first came to Dr. Fowler I was experiencing symptoms similar to that of a urinary tract infection. It turned out that an overdose of antibiotics I was taking for the urinary tract infection, which in fact I did not have, destroyed the good flora in my vagina. I went through great...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[When the “good” bacteria in the vagina, the lactobacilli, counts are low, the other 30+ “bad” bacteria that are normally in the vagina at low concentrations proliferate and become the dominant strains. They take over. If a vaginal bacterial culture is done in this setting, it will grow out something like Beta strep, Enterococcus, E. coli, Klebsiella, Gardnerella Vaginalis or some other bacteria that can be normally found in the vagina. This simply reflects what specie of bacteria has become dominate in the vagina at that time. In does not usually represent an infection. If antibiotics are prescribed, only a...]]></description>
