Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Taking Gabapentin Or Imipramine Advisable For Labial Pain?
Yes. I m going to increase my Elavil dose per my doctor for vestibulitis /vulvadynia symptoms. If not more effective he suggested Gabapentin or imipramine, in that order. I wanted to know more about which might be more effective for my burning, labial pain.
Thanks for asking at Healthcare magic. I read your question and I understand your concern. Labial pain is due to stress and neuropathy. I would prefer imipramine as it controls both. All that you have to do is to avoid soap, douches, gently clean vulva with water, Use K-Y jelly after intercourse, wear loose fitting cotton clothes, Do mediation and relaxation excersizes. avoid hot bath. Hope it helps best. Don't forget to rate this answer and close the discussion at Healthcare Magic. Take your best Care. Regards Dr Ejaz
