This is OgreDTD's wife typing this response. The vestibulectomy was a last resort after a year and a half of physical therapy and different medications/creams. Because my body did not respond to the medications, I had an OBGYN who specializes in pelvic pain do the surgery. They take out all of the nerve endings in what is called "Hart's Line" (google it to see where it is) and then sew the skin back together so that a scar forms. The theory behind it is that if there is scar tissue there then there will not be any feeling, which eliminates the pain. The recovery time was about 6 weeks, but after 6 years of not being able to have sex, this was a game changer for me. This was definitely a last resort option for me, but I would do it all over again if I had to!

What have you tried to cure this? My wife had vulvodynia. For years she struggled with this and dr's basically telling her nothing was wrong or it as a yeast infection or this or that. Finally met with a doctor in Eastern Pennsylvania that helped ALOT. 2 yard after we had our first consult she decided to go forward with a vastibulectomy. It's been 3 months since the operation and everything is going great. Please feel free to DM me and I will get you In Touch with my wife if you have any questions (or if anyone has any questions). She's very open about her experience and would love to help anyone out.

She did the same - dialators, physical therapy, trigger point injections. . Nothing seemed to help completely and she decided to make the thought decision to have the surgery. It was tough but the recovery is going well and things seem good. If you do have any questions regarding anything she would be happy to talk, just let me know.
