This support group covers the Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire areas (UK) and is for women suffering from any vulval pain syndrome (Vestibulodynia, Vulvodynia, Lichen Sclerosus, Lichen Planus, Clitorodynia etc)
The primary aim of this group is to support women who are suffering from any form of vulval pain. Vulval conditions can impact our daily lives in many ways, emotionally as well as physically, and affect our relationships with our partners, families and friends as well as causing issues in the workplace. On this site we are all fellow women sufferers who understand better than anyone the constant difficulties that these conditions can impose on us and although we cannot give you a diagnosis or offer medical advice, we can share with you what you are going through and offer support and understanding. You will soon learn that you are not alone, that there are lots of women here who fully understand what you are going through. We are glad that you have found us and look forward to welcoming you to our group.
We are here to listen and support each other in a caring and compassionate environment.
If you do not live in our area, you can contact the VPS on www.vulvalpainsociety.org for information on support groups in other areas.
