Vulvodynia is persistent, unexplained pain in the vulva. The vulva is the female genital area including the skin surrounding the opening of the vagina. It can happen to women of all ages. Vulvodynia can become a long-term problem but it can also be treated. Much can be done to help relieve the pain.

Vestibulodynia is chronic pain and discomfort that occurs in the area around the opening of the vagina, inside the inner lips of the vulva. This area is known as the vestibule.

In this video we will cover symptoms, treatment and prognosis.

I hope you enjoy the video.
