| | Vulvodynia: Vulvar Pain |
 | | Vulvar vestibulitis is a type of vulvodynia in which pain is only experienced when pressure is applied to the vestibule, which is the area surrounding the entrance to the vagina. | | | Vulvodynia is defined as chronic vulvar discomfort or pain that can last anywhere from a few months to a few years. | | | The basis of this surgery is that the pudendal nerve may be a source for the pain involved in vulvodynia. |
