“I don’t know where she lives, but there are excellent vulvovaginal health clinics at the University of Iowa and the University of Michigan. “TT can find such a health-care provider through the NVA or the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (),” says Herbenick. Herbenick recommends that you find someone who “lives and breathes the vulva and vagina in their medical practice,” and there are organizations that can help you find those livers and breathers.
