Vulvodynia Symptom - Symptom of Vulvodynia

What are the Symptoms of Vulvodynia?

The word vulvodynia means "painful vulva." Your vulva consists of the pad of fatty tissue at the base of your abdomen (mons pubis), the labia, the clitoris and the opening of your vagina.

Women with Vulvodynia suffer from chronic debilitating pain of the vulvar area for which doctors can find no physical cause or cure.

The main symptom of vulvodynia is pain in your genital area, which can be characterized by:

  • Rawness
  • Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
  • Throbbing
  • Burning
  • Soreness
  • Itching
  • Stinging

Some other Symptom of Vulvodynia

Careful physical examination will show some or all of the following signs:

  • An irritated, dry change to the skin of the vulva.
  • Dilated, enflamed blood vessels in the underlying connective tissue.
  • Severe inflamation of various glands within the vulvar vestibule.
  • Scarring and contracture of the vulva and lower vagina.
  • Painful fibromalgia of the pelvic floor muscles.

The pain you experience may be constant or intermittent and can last for months or even years but can vanish as suddenly or mysteriously as it started. A similar condition, vulvar vestibulitis, may cause pain only when pressure is applied to the area surrounding the entrance to your vagina.

Vulvar tissue may look minimally inflamed or swollen. More often, your vulva appears normal.
