What is vulvovaginal disease?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Vulvovaginal disease is an infection or inflammation of your external genitalia. Some vulvar problems associated with vulvovaginal disease include:<\/p>

  • Vulvodynia<\/li>
  • Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia<\/li>
  • Lichen sclerosus<\/li><\/ul>

    If you have any of these conditions, you might experience so much discomfort that you can\u2019t engage in sexual activity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    What is vulvodynia?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Vulvodynia is chronic vulvar pain with an unknown cause. Although the type of pain and the area of the vulva that hurts can vary, many women report a burning sensation.<\/p>

    When you have vulvodynia, you may experience relatively constant pain. Activities that can worsen your symptoms include sitting, sexual intercourse, and other activities that apply pressure to your entire vulva. Pain at a single vulvar site characterizes other types of vulvodynia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    What is vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) is a vulvovaginal disease where cells become abnormal or change in appearance. VIN isn\u2019t cancer, but the cells can become cancerous. There are two types of VIN.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    The usual type<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    This is more common in women aged 30-40 and associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    The differentiated type<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    This is less common, seen in women aged 50-60, and not associated with HPV<\/p>

    Neither sort of VIN produces symptoms at first, but a persistent itch often develops. Additional symptoms might include burning, soreness, or tingling in the vulva and painful intercourse.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    What is lichen sclerosus?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Lichen sclerosus is an uncommon vulvovaginal disease that manifests as white, patchy skin on the vulva that\u2019s thinner than normal. Additional symptoms include:<\/p>

    • Pain or discomfort<\/li>
    • Tearing or bruising<\/li>
    • Bleeding or blistering<\/li>
    • Painful intercourse<\/li>
    • Severe itching<\/li><\/ul>

      The exact cause of lichen sclerosus is unknown, but your hormones and immune system might play a role. As such, postmenopausal women often have a higher risk of developing lichen sclerosus.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      How do you treat vulvovaginal disease?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Vulvovaginal disease is complicated because its causes vary. As such, Dr. Kohli provides specialized and customized care for vulvovaginal diseases.
