Anyone who’s watched Sex and a City will remember that scene.

No, not a impossibly vitriolic impulse Carrie Bradshaw says ‘hello, lover’ to some shoes.

1 in 11 of your coworkers are carrying sex during work, apparently

The one in that Charlotte discovers that her vagina is ‘depressed’, and gets prescribed antidepressants – not for her, yet for her vagina.

She also has to keep a vagina journal.

It left us wondering (please design us mulling this in a Carrie-esque fashion): Can one’s vagina indeed be depressed? Or is this usually an civic legend, like prohibited carpenters who’ll build your partner a loveseat and take we behind after we dick them around?

It turns out that yes, one’s vagina can be ‘depressed’.

But really, that’s usually a catchier tenure for a reduction discussed vaginal issue, vulvodynia – a persistent, unexplained pain in a vulva.

Dr Vanessa Mackay, orator for a Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologist, explained to metro.co.uk: ‘The accurate means of this condition is unknown, however, it’s suspicion to be a outcome of a problem with a nerves provision a vulva.

‘Vulvodynia can be a long-term problem and impact women of all ages.

‘The annoy can come and go though warning and final from weeks to months. Often a pain goes divided as fast as it begins.

‘The condition is mostly formidable to diagnose as there are a series of other causes of vulval pain.’

As a outcome of a problem in diagnosis, alongside a ubiquitous annoy with articulate about a vaginas and vulvae, many women onslaught with vulvodynia in silence, incompetent to get assistance or treatment.

It doesn’t assistance that many doctors don’t recognize vulvodynia as a genuine medical condition. Showing no manifest earthy symptoms, women are mostly discharged when they lift a emanate of vaginal pain.

Sex is painful, masturbation feels terrible, and those with vulvodynia can finish adult totally losing their comfort in their sexuality.

If you’re lucky, though, your alloy will take your concerns severely and allot a solution.

A lot of a time, diagnosis options embody special balmy gels, medication, physiotherapy, and lubricants – and in certain cases, surgery.

But in other cases, doctors will indeed allot antidepressants for a vagina.

This isn’t since your vagina has mislaid a clarity of purpose and needs to have a mood lifted, mind you.

Antidepressants have been shown to be effective in a diagnosis of haughtiness pain. So while it isn’t a primary use of antidepressants (the clue’s in a name), these forms of remedy can finish adult remedying your vagina’s ‘depression’ – definition pain or determined infections.

Naturally, a antidepressants also assistance with a side-effects of vulvodynia – a frustration, stress, and detriment of libido. They’re flattering accessible pills, really.

But often, it’s not usually a diagnosis itself that creates a outrageous difference. It’s being heard, believed, and understood.

It’s impossibly upsetting to not usually be in pain, yet to have no one recognize that pain as a genuine thing. Just receiving a diagnosis, either it’s vulvodynia or a ‘depressed vagina’ is a large step.

Anyone experiencing pain down there or feeling like their vagina competence be feeling a bit low should speak to their doctor. If your alloy doesn’t help, pull them on it or go to another medical professional. Your pain is genuine and we merit help.

Oh, and do keep a vagina biography like Charlotte. It sounds delightful.
