This information is for health education only and cannot diagnose vulvodynia. NICHD describes vulvodynia as vulvar pain lasting at least three months without a clear cause after appropriate evaluation; new, severe, or red-flag symptoms need prompt medical assessment.
Vulvodynia is ongoing vulvar pain that lasts at least three months and does not have a clear cause after appropriate evaluation. The pain may feel like burning, stinging, irritation, soreness, or rawness.
Persistent vulvar pain can affect sitting, clothing choices, exercise, intimacy, sleep, work, school, and emotional well-being. It is important because treatable causes, such as infections or skin conditions, may need to be checked first.
Vulvodynia does not have one known cause. Researchers and clinicians may consider nerve sensitivity, pelvic floor muscle issues, inflammation, past infections, skin conditions, irritants, hormones, injuries, and pain-processing changes.
No. A yeast infection is caused by fungal overgrowth and may cause itching, irritation, discharge, and discomfort. Vulvodynia is persistent pain without a clear cause after evaluation, so testing and an exam may be needed to tell them apart.
Yes. Vulvodynia can affect people with vulvar anatomy. A person's sex or gender label alone does not tell the full anatomy or symptom story, so symptoms should be discussed directly and respectfully with a healthcare professional.
Common descriptions include burning, stinging, irritation, soreness, throbbing, or rawness in the vulvar area. Pain may happen with touch or pressure, on its own, or both.
Vulvodynia is diagnosed by a healthcare professional after reviewing symptoms, doing an appropriate exam, and checking for other causes. A scores, blood test, or single symptom cannot confirm it.
Testing depends on symptoms and exam findings. A clinician may consider tests for yeast, bacterial infections, sexually transmitted infections, urinary problems, skin conditions, or other causes.
There is no blood test that diagnoses vulvodynia. Blood tests may be used only if a clinician is checking for other health issues that could affect symptoms or treatment planning.
A urine test may help when symptoms include urinary burning, urgency, frequency, or pelvic discomfort. It cannot diagnose or rule out vulvodynia, but it may provide information about urinary causes that need attention.
Yes, some people with vulvar pain report discomfort with sitting, tight clothing, biking, exercise, or other pressure. Pain with sitting can also have other causes, so it is worth discussing with a clinician.
It can. Touch or pressure may trigger pain for some people, which can affect sexual activity, pelvic exams, or insertion of products if applicable. A clinician can help evaluate causes and discuss supportive care options.
Without evaluation, treatable causes such as infections, skin conditions, urinary issues, or injuries may be missed. Persistent pain can also become more disruptive over time, so ongoing symptoms should be reviewed.
Improvement time varies. Because symptoms and contributing factors differ, a healthcare professional may recommend a step-by-step plan and adjust it based on response.
Seek prompt medical assessment for fever, spreading redness, open sores, heavy bleeding, or sudden severe vulvar or pelvic pain. These symptoms can point to conditions that should not wait.
