			<description><![CDATA[The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology published a study in September 2023 that investigated whether treating with vaginal estrogen for vulvovaginal symptoms of menopause posed a safety risk to breast cancer survivors, particularly the risk of breast cancer recurrence. The conclusion, that they found NO increase in risk and therefore the use of vaginal estrogen appears to be safe in breast cancer survivors, regardless of whether they had estrogen receptor positive (ER+) versus estrogen receptor negative (ER-) breast cancer.1
In the United States, breast cancer is the #2 cancer affecting women and will likely affect 1 in 8 women within their...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[By the time you arrive at FGI you have browsed the internet for solutions to fix your vaginal problem, you have likely exhausted your provider network. Meaning you have seen your primary care provider,  several gynecologists and perhaps even a “specialist.” No provider has impressed you, nothing has worked, you may have been told that you may just have to live with it or that it’s in your head. At a minimum you are perplexed and frustrated, but more likely, you are angry and distraught because the symptoms can severely compromising your lifestyle. I know you may feel like, “this...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The vaginal mucosa is the lining of the vagina which is in direct contact with the vaginal secretions. It composes part of the vaginal wall. Beneath the mucosa lies muscle, nerves, blood vessels and adipose tissue. Together they make up the vaginal wall. It extends form the inner labia minora of the vulva to the cervix. The average length of the front wall of the vagina is a 7.5cm and the back wall is 9cm. The difference in length occurs due to the projection of the cervix into the vagina at approximately a 45 degree angle. The vaginal caliber at...]]></description>

You are likely suffering from one of the conditions tat arise form altered vaginal microflora (AVMF).  All of the following vaginal symptoms, despite how varied they my seem, have the same underlying etiology meaning they all occur secondary to AVMF.

			<description><![CDATA[Many women have had to deal with chronic vaginal odor. This is usually accompanied with discharge which can vary in amount and how often it’s noticed; unlike the odor it tends not to be much of a problem. The odor is generally relentless, even returning several hours after showering or a few days after douching. Commonly the odor will penetrate through clothing leading to the stress of being self-conscious around other people. When the barrier of clothing is removed, the odor can be much more potent leading to such things as avoidance of women in adjacent bathroom stalls. Moreover, the...]]></description>

In 2016 alone, women came from 49 states to undergo treatment by Dr. Fowler at Fowler Gyn International in Phoenix, Arizona. Consider a Pennsylvania woman’s testimony below:

			<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>

			<description><![CDATA[Burning, rawness, and stinging pain at the vaginal opening is not a common malady but for those who develop this problem known as vulvodynia there is nothing more consuming. The burning can be relentless from the moment after stepping out of bed until falling back asleep at night. The only mild reprieve is to separate legs with an ice pack draped over the vulva. During the day its hard for these women to find a minute where they are not thinking about their vagina, something that tends to be so foreign for women without this problem.Focus on work, staying on...]]></description>
