Vulvodynia

Vulvodynia is the described as a pain of the vulva area of a woman. The exact cause of Vulvodynia is unknown; most doctors believe that it may be a result of a series of factors. It could be due to an injury or irritation of the nerves that are in and around the vulva. Others believe it has to do with an individual likelihood of getting yeast infections, or an allergic reaction to some chemicals in the soap or detergent that you use. Some individuals with this condition have a past history of sexual abuse also. The pain can last for a couple of months and make the easiest of tasks difficult for the individual inflicted.
