Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome
In women, the area adjacent to the entrance of the vagina and the hymen is called the 'Vestibulum'. For various reasons, the long-term inflammatory condition in this region is called 'Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome'. In this disease, women feel localized pain during intercourse, especially at the entrance to the vagina.
Sexual Problems and Treatments
What causes Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome?
The cause of Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome is not known exactly. Chronic, that is, long-term inflammation in the vestibulum region, leads to sensitization of this region. Untreated vaginal infections, chronic irritants, creams, shampoos and shower gels applied to the genital area can cause inflammation.
Diagnosis of Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome
The main complaint of the patients is the pain they feel in the vagina during intercourse. Some women cannot complete the relationship because of this. It is a disease that is often confused with vaginismus. Women cannot convince their spouse or doctor that they have real pain. The problem in vaginismus is the concern that there will be pain during intercourse. In Vulvar Vestubilit Syndrome, the pain is really felt. However, when evaluated by an experienced physician, it is diagnosed with a short-term gynecological examination.
Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome Treatment
The definitive treatment of Vulvar Vestublit Syndrome is surgery. However, in milder cases, healing can be achieved by applying hyaluronic acid to this sensitive area. These increase the synthesis of collagen in the inflamed area and allow the sensitivity to pass. In more severe cases, the inflamed tissue should be surgically removed superficially. This process can be easily done in 10-15 minutes.
The sensitivity of the vestibulum is removed by surgery or other methods. However, treatment should not be abandoned at this stage. It should be ensured that the relationship is comfortable with some regional exercises. Experiencing painful relationships causes some fears to emerge, so it is necessary to deal with the fear of being painful again with exercises.
