Vulvodynia is a chronic pain condition affecting the vulva, which is the external part of the female genitalia. Women with vulvodynia may experience burning, stinging, or irritation, often without an identifiable cause. This condition can significantly impact daily activities, sexual health, and emotional well-being. The exact cause of vulvodynia is not well understood, but it may involve factors such as nerve irritation, hormonal changes, or previous infections. Treatment options include medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes, aimed at relieving pain and improving quality of life for those affected.
