When I suffered from severe, debilitating vulvodynia 15 years ago, there was nowhere to turn for comprehensive information and support. Fortunately, it won’t be the same for you. If you have been diagnosed with either vulvodynia or vulvar vestibulitis, or think you may be suffering from one of these conditions, we want to help you make an educated decision about your health care. NVA was founded by five women with vulvodynia who were committed to finding solutions for all women suffering from chronic vulvar pain.

We have just revised our website so you can obtain immediate access to the treatment and self-help information you need. Click here to see what’s available at our new online resource center.  Over the past 10 years, we have compiled a comprehensive database of health care professionals who treat this condition. Upon request, we will email you a list for your region as well as the name of a local support leader.

In addition to providing patient services, NVA educates the medical community about vulvodynia, lobbies for federal funding of vulvodynia research and awards research grants. I am excited to announce that we have also started to award grants to open vulvar pain clinics.

I’ve worked very hard for many years to ensure that other women don’t suffer the way I did. You can find help here.

Sincerely,
