Vulvodynia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a woman has persistent discomfort or pain in the vulva without a visible cause to explain it, it may be vulvodynia, a disorder marked by chronic pain in the vulvar area that lasts several months.
How does it show up? It is usually described as burning, stinging, irritation, or a stabbing sensation. The discomfort may be constant or appear with contact, when sitting, or during intercourse.
Origin: Its causes are not fully understood and may involve nerve, muscular, and inflammatory factors of the region, which makes a careful evaluation necessary.
Which specialist treats it? The OB-GYN is the one who examines the area, rules out other conditions, and guides the approach to vulvar pain. If the discomfort persists and affects your daily life, discussing it with a professional makes it possible to look for options tailored to your case.
