Vulvodynia refers to pain in the area of the vulva and ******l opening. Vulvodynia is considered to be pain for which there is no known cause. It is different from pain that is located deep in the pelvis or internally in the ******. This article focuses on pain in the vulvar region and at the opening (introitus) of the ******.
Vulvodynia can be chronic and can last for years in some women. The degree of severity varies among women. It often occurs in the absence of physical signs or visible abnormalities. It can be severe and can interfere with s*xual activity and cause painful intercourse ( dyspareunia).
