Our story

A new way of caring for vulvar and pelvic pain

Bloume exists because pelvic pain is still dismissed, normalised and left untreated.

Women's hands resting together in support

Why Bloume

For me, Pelvic pain is personal

I was just 20 when Vulvodynia turned my life upside down. At an age when I should have been discovering myself and enjoying life, I found myself searching for answers to pain I couldn't explain. What followed was years of uncertainty, 2 surgeries, frustration and feeling alone with a condition that few people seemed to understand.

What hurt almost as much as the pain itself was the lack of answers, the limited treatment options and the feeling that I had to figure it all out on my own.

That experience changed the course of my life. I went on to pursue a PhD in Vulvodynia at King's College London, determined to better understand the condition that had affected me so deeply. Eventually, that determination became Bloume.

"My story is the same as that of so many other people. This is the care I wish I had when I was navigating pelvic pain."

In conversation

Why is pain so normalised in women's healthcare?

Our founder, Dr Claudia Chisari, on the science of persistent pelvic pain, medical dismissal, and what a better standard of care actually looks like.

Let's talk about the issue

We start at the root of the problem

7 years

The average wait for a correct diagnosis.

Years of appointments, tests and dead ends before anyone names what is happening. We connect you directly with clinicians who recognise these conditions on day one.

Considered stopping care due to gaslighting and pain minimisation

Our clinicians will never minimise you or your pain. We have also lived experience so we've been there. You are a person before you are a patient, and your pain is real.
