The Ultimate Vulvodynia + Pelvic Pain Resource Guide
A valuable resource guide to help those with pelvic pain conditions.
This guide was made from Michelle and Leilani’s own pain and suffering and they would love for this document to be a tool and resource for others who are living in silence with chronic pelvic pain. Their hope is to empower and help shorten other’s journey so that they can get the answers and care needed to begin healing sooner, rather than later.

Do you live with chronic pelvic pain?
Imagine not having to spend...
Months on Google trying to find answers to your pain
Countless hours searching for a community that understands you
A lot of money on countless products in hopes of finding relief
This is a solid foundation for understanding chronic pelvic pain and what you can do to begin to advocate for yourself.
No matter what pelvic pain condition you live with, you should get the correct care and treatment.
Your pain is real and you deserve a correct diagnosis. No cure DOES NOT EQUAL no treatment.
Studies indicate that dismissal of symptoms or treatment leads to more health, nervous system complications and reproduction issues days, months or years later. It is clear that medical barriers are still prevalent in healthcare when it comes to pelvic health and chronic pain.
The pelvic health community is only growing and people are speaking up about their personal journeys and want to form connections with others like you to help spread awareness.
This resource guide was created to help you better understand your pelvic pain and find helpful resources to help you on your journey.
