Understanding Vulvodynia

 

Vulvodynia is a chronic pain condition affecting the vulvar area, with no clear identifiable cause. It can result in persistent or intermittent pain that impacts daily activities and quality of life. Common symptoms include:

​

• Burning, stinging, or itching sensations in the vulvar region.

• Pain during intercourse or when sitting for extended periods.

• Sensitivity to touch, making daily activities uncomfortable.

• Unexplained pain that may be localized or widespread.

 

If you're experiencing persistent vulvar pain or discomfort, the specialists at MRHS can help diagnose the condition and provide effective relief.
