Home FAQ Start The Analyst Last updated: Mar 08, 2004 Vulvodynia / Vestibulitis Signs, symptoms and indicators Conditions that suggest it Contributing risk factors Treatment recommendations Vulvodynia is a medical term that means 'painful vulva'. The term can cover a wide variety of vulvar pain syndromes including various infections and skin disorders. Some cases of vulvodynia may be due to compression or disease of the pudendal nerve, one of the main nerves that relays sensation to and from the genitals. The term is also used to refer to vestibulitis or Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome (VVS), which is an inflammation of the vestibule, or opening into the vagina and the tissues immediately around the vaginal opening. This condition is sometimes also called 'vestibular adenitis'. In a few people vulvodynia clears up on its own after 6-12 months. In mild cases, a burning or stinging sensation is noted during intercourse or when tampons are inserted. Upon touching the area with a cotton swab, pain is felt when the hymen and inner vaginal lips are touched. There also may be redness and swelling. In severe cases, the pain can be agonizing and much of the vulvar can be reddened, swollen and very inflamed. Often the edges of the inner vaginal lips are very sensitive and the pain so severe that it makes walking difficult. There may be a constant itching or stinging sensation in the grooves between the large and small vaginal lips. Wearing underwear may be very uncomfortable as the slightest touch to the area may result in excruciating pain.

Fibromyalgia and Vulvodynia Resources This page contains resources on two interrelated disorders, fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and vulvodynia. I first developed symptoms of both of these illnesses in the later half of 1994. I was finally diagnosed with FMS and chronic fatigue syndrome in July of 1996 and with vulvodynia in December of that same year. I was lucky, most people with fibromyalgia and/or vulvodynia suffer much longer before being appropriately diagnosed, and even longer before receiving effective treatment. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms of fibromyalgia include flu-like body aches, muscle pain and stiffness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, irritable bowel syndrome (alternating diarrhea and constipation), and difficulty with concentration and memory, among others. Effective treatments can include low doses of antidepressants (for their pain-reducing effect), pain medications of sufficient strength, physical/massage therapy, and the slow introduction of a daily exercise program. Many people with FMS have also found some relief through nutritional supplements such as malic acid . Fibromyalgia is similar to chronic fatigue syndrome and some experts believe they are the same disorder. People with fibromyalgia often fit the criteria for both diseases. The causes of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are not known. Many women with fibromyalgia also have vulvodynia.

What are vulvodynia and Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome? Vulvodynia is a medical term that means "painful vulva". The term can cover a wide variety of vulvar pain syndromes, including various infections and skin disorders. Vulvar pain syndromes have been written about in medical books since at least the late 1800s. In 1889, Dr. A.J.C. Skene wrote a "Treatise on the Diseases of Women" wherein he described a disorder that was characterized by an "excessive sensitivity" of the vulva. He stated that itching was absent, but when "the examining finger comes in contact with the hyperesthetic part, the patient complains of pain which is sometimes so great as to cause her to cry out". He treated this condition by surgically removing the affected area. However, he noted that this provided only temporary relief. In 1928, Dr. H.A. Kelly wrote about a condition characterized by "exquisitely sensitive deep-red spots on the mucosa of the hymenal ring" as a frequent source of painful intercourse. However, this condition appears to have then been ignored in medical journals until the early 1980s, when Dr. Edward Friedrich began reporting on it.

What is vulvodynia? Self help Pelvic-floor exercises Vulval self-exam Sex and vulval pain ... VPS lending library Dysaesthetic vulvodynia What is it? In dysaesthetic vulvodynia (DV) nerve fibres of the vulva are irritated or damaged and fire abnormal nerve signals back to the spinal cord where you interpret them as pain. This can occur even when the painful area of skin involved is not touched. Another example of nerve-type or 'neuropathic' pain like DV is the pain some people experience following an attack of shingles. Once the rash of shingles has disappeared, the area of skin where the rash was can often be intensely painful and sore despite the skin appearing normal. This condition is called 'post-herpetic neuralgia'. What are the symptoms? The pain described by women with DV is often of a burning, aching nature. The intensity of pain can vary from a mild discomfort to a severe, constant pain which can even prevent you from sitting down comfortably. The pain is usually continuous and can interfere with sleep. As with long-term pain of any cause, you can have good days and bad days. Itching is not usually a feature of the condition. The pain in DV is not always restricted to the vulval area (area of skin on the outside of the vagina), and some women get pain elsewhere. This can be around the inside of the thighs, upper legs and even around the back passage and the urethra (where you pass urine). Some women also have pain when they empty their bowels. DV can have an effect on sexual activity, and is associated with pain during foreplay and on penetration. It has been noted by doctors that the condition usually affects women from the mid-forties onwards.

Cervical Dysplasia Chronic Pelvic Pain Endometriosis Fibroids Incontinence Interstitial Cystitis Ovarian Cysts PCOS PID Pelvic Prolapse Vulvodynia Vulvodynia literally means 'pain in the vulva.' Vulvodynia is actually a symptom, like stomach cramps, which may have many different causes. Women who experience it often describe vulvodynia as a burning or shooting pain throughout the vulva area. This condition is closely related to a condition called vulvar vestibulitis where women experience pain around the opening of the vagina. Both of these conditions will be discussed in this health centre. There are no clear studies to tell us how common this condition is. Some estimates suggest that up to 15 percent of women may experience some symptoms. Women can experience this condition throughout the lifecycle, but it is most commonly a disease of women in their reproductive years. Many never seek treatment. Experts used to believe that sexual abuse was the primary cause of vulvodynia and that vulvodynia was a psychological condition not a physical one. While some women with vulvodynia have experienced abuse, studies have now shown that a history of sexual abuse is not more common among women with this condition. Sexual abuse in no longer considered the cause of vulvodynia, although a past experience of abuse may influence a woman's attitudes about her body and the course of her treatment.

In mild cases, a burning or stinging sensation is noted during intercourse or when tampons are inserted.

Send this link to a Friend Search this site Overview and Causes of Vulvodynia One of the causes of pain during sexual intercourse is vulvodynia. Vulvodynia means pain in the vulva. It is a syndrome characterized by chronic vulvar discomfort, especially burning, stinging, irritation or rawness. Typically, the vulva is so sensitive that even light pressure can be painful. Women with vulvodynia may even experience discomfort from clothing such as tight jeans. The condition can be extremely debilitating and can affect her whole outlook on life. Career, family life and relationships may suffer as a result. Causes of Vulvodynia The exact causes of vulvodynia are unknown. However, it is thought that neurological injury may be involved in some types of vulvodynia. In other cases, a skin condition or dermatoses may cause the pain. Women experiencing vulvodynia may have a history of recurrent vaginal yeast infections. Also external causes such as previous treatment such as laser surgery or sensitivity to corticosteroid drugs may play a role. In some cases, the entire vulva may be involved and in other cases only a portion of the vulva surrounding the entry to the vagina – the vestibule - may be involved. This type of vulvodynia is known as the vestibulitis.
