Vulvar Vestibulitis: A painful condition that affects women of all ages by D.Herren

Vulvar vestibulitis is a condition that causes redness and pain of the vestibule. The vestibule is the smooth skin next to the opening of the vagina. This can cause vaginal pain and burning. Vulvar vestibulitis is an inflammation of the skin in this area and the mucous that secretes from the glands found in the skin. The mucous secreting glands are called the lesser vestibular glands. Vulvar vestibulitis may include the area around the opening of the vagina but is most commonly seen in the lower part. This area may burn or may be very sensitive.

Vulvar vestibulitis occurs in women of all ages and backgrounds. It can occur in women who are sexually active and also in women who have never been sexually involved. Many women with this problem have suffered physically and emotionally for months or years. These same women have also seen a number of physicians and have tried several unsuccessful treatments in search for relief from chronic vulvar vestibulitis.

What are the symptoms of vulvar vestibulitis

The exact cause of vulvar vestibulits is basically unknown. The role of tense and chronic muscle tension may be one factor. Other causes of vulvar vestibulitis are problems such as chronic urinary tract infections or yeast infections, changes in the pH of the vagina, or even chronic use of chemicals or irritants such as lubricants or spermicide (during sex), soaps and detergent.
