Severe clitoral pain

[Guest guest]

I am seeing a 27 y/o female with a chief complaint of severe clitoral

pain. It's extremely painful to the slightest touch. She has had this

for the past 2 years. It's also too painful to allow her to have

intercourse. The patient says that the clitoris sheath/hood seems

slightly red and irritate, but there is no damp or oozing from the

surrounding sheath/tissue.

 

She has seen a number of Western Med specialist, ob/gyn, pelvic pain

specialist, who haven't offered a diagnosis, other than the

posibility of having to surgically alter the sheath/hood surrounding

the clitoris. She's tried a number of western meds, and external

soaks, and physical therapy, without any lessening of the pain.

 

She also has secondary issue involving digestion, and my initial

diagnosis was Liver Qi Stagnation with Liver overacting on Stomach.

I've seen her a few times and her digestive issues are much improved

but nothing has changed regarding the clitoral pain.

 

I've just read about using some extra-points 1.5 cun lateral to CV3,

with electro-stim, for clitoral/vulvar pain. I plan on trying that

out.

 

Had anyone dealt with this type of case. I'd appreciate any

suggestions.

Hi Gary,

 

I've had similar cases of vulvar/clitoral pain w redness (CM Syndrome of

Liver Qi stagnation overacting on St or Japanese/Meridian Therapy version:

Sp def / Liver exc / Heat).

 

Above diagnosis usually comes with a pulse image that shows def in Right Chi

and Guan and exc in left Guan or entire left side with a wiry pulse. If so

then check Sp3, PC6, PC9 Liv3, 5, and 8 for pain and/or indurations - needle

the spleen points with reaction first and then recheck liv points - if still

painful or they still have induration then needle them - if the def and exc

in the pulse harmonizes and the general pulse turns less wiry her symptoms

should start clearing immediately!

 

Hope this helps

 

Kindly,

Look for ashi points on the nose, as some systems view the nose as being

symmetrical to the urethral meatus (as the mouth is to the anus). Also, as it

wraps the genitalia, think liver. Also, one must think of the heart as some

taoist systems reflect the tip of the penis as being related to the heart, which

would correspond to the clitoris.

Alon:

 

You may want to consider other modalities. What comes to mind for me is energy

healing. I learned Chakra energy balancing from Arline Kline, who studied with

Rosalyn Bruyere (Wheels of Light author). I use this method to pull pain from

the body at the aura level. I integrate it when necessary, but would definitely

consider it if things aren't moving. You can look for any energy healers that

are well respected in your area. I particulary like this method.

Wow. I am amazed that treatment for this unfortuanate woman has even

been initiated based on such limited information! Are we not treating

Holisically?

 

Having said that, I have found many female urogenital conditions

reapond well to an excellent diagnosis regarding the third or lower

burner. Follow the Qi. It appears to be moving " down and out " . There

is a reason for this. Find out what it is. Allow it to move where it

is supposed to go.

 

How long has this been going on? What was the time of it's inception?

What was going on before hand? What has helped? What has hindered?

What do the pulses and tongue tell us? What other conditions accompany

this?
