Vulvadynia is basically any type of symptom that involves pain swelling, irritation, burning, ashiness, pain that is located in the vulvar region. The Vulvar is external part of the female genitalia, including the labia majora, labia minora, the clitoris and the opening of the vagina (the vestibule).
Vulvadynia can be triggered by hormonal changes, trauma from birth or surgery, chronic infections and/or the muscles of the pelvic floor. It might show up as discomfort with sitting or pain with intercourse or putting in a tampon. Symptoms might start gradually, seemingly out of nowhere, or they might begin after birth or a traumatic sexual encounter.
If the muscles of the pelvic floor are involved, usually the muscles have become tight and spasmed and, as a result are causing pain. Since the muscles of the pelvic floor line the bowl of the pelvis and surround the opening of the bladder, the vagina and the rectum, tension in these muscles make it difficult for anything to come in or out.
Vulvodynia is a broad term to describe general pain in that area. This means, the symptoms you’re experiencing might move around or be felt across the whole vulvar region.
