What is vulvodynia?
Vulvodynia is long lasting pain of the vulva without an obvious cause. It can include burning, stinging, irritation, or rawness of the genital skin. It may be triggered by infection, inflammation or injury after childbirth or an operation. Some women also find it hard to put in a tampon or have sex. Women with vulvodynia may also have migraines, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome or chronic fatigue syndrome.
