Vulvodynia

The word vulvodynia means "painful vulva." Vulvodynia literally means pain in your vagina (vulva) called Vulvodynia or chronic vulvar pain. There are several reasons Vulvodynia may be underreported. It may be partly due to the absence of visible signs of the condition. Or it could be the reluctance of many women to talk about their symptoms. Treatment options are available to lessen the pain.

Self-care

The following tips may help you manage the symptoms of vulvodynia:

Cold compresses. Cool compresses placed directly on your external genital area may help lessen pain and itching.
Avoid tightfitting pantyhose and nylon underwear. Tight undergarments restrict airflow to your genital area, often leading to increased temperature and moisture that can cause irritation. Wear cotton underwear to increase ventilation and dryness.
Avoid hot tubs. Spending time in a hot tub may lead to discomfort and itching.
Avoid excessive hygiene. Washing or scrubbing the affected area harshly or too often can increase irritation.
Try an antihistamine at bedtime. This may help reduce itching and help you rest better.
Look for triggers and avoid them. The triggers that can make vulvar pain worse tend to be different for each woman. Your observations of what causes you pain are important. Avoid potentially irritating soaps, clothing dyes, creams and bath products.
Work with your doctor. Over time you can work with your doctor to identify the approaches that work best for you.
Exercise and stay active. Regular exercise can help ease chronic pain, but stay away from exercises that put pressure directly on the vulva, such as bicycling.
Accept small steps of progress. Don't expect instant cures. Have confidence that you'll feel better over time.
