Anyone have any experience with vulvovaginal Crohn's? Feeling alone with this rare complication. Any advice or experience shared appreciated.

Hi, that sounds like what I need! My specialist said she couldn't help and that I should ask a gynecologist. I'm not taking any medication for my Crohn's (only supplements and diet) for now so was hoping there was something simple like an ointment. I'll ask my doctor about that!

Thanks

Hi! Thanks for your response :) I have the same thing! I saw a specialist in vaginal Crohn's, and she perscribed me some triamcinalone acetate ointment that has really been helping the cuts heal. Maybe this could help you too? I hope you find some relief.

Hi, I've had this issue as part of my symptoms. My specialist said it's not typical of Crohn's but my primary doctor confirmed it's not an STD. I wanted to ask about a topical cream because I have small knife-like cuts that aren't going away. Have you had any success with a treatment for this?
