Understanding the Differences Between Vestibulodynia and Vulvodynia
Insights from Dr. Natalia Obzejta for Daye
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Natalia Obzejta, of PRM in Los Angeles, has been featured in an enlightening discussion for Daye, a pioneering gynae health company. Dr. Obzejta’s expertise brings clarity to a topic that is often misunderstood: the differences between Vestibulodynia and Vulvodynia.
What Are Vestibulodynia and Vulvodynia?
Vulvodynia is a chronic pain condition affecting the vulva, the external part of the female genitalia. It is characterized by pain, burning, or discomfort that can be constant or intermittent. Vulvodynia is considered a generalized condition, meaning the pain is spread throughout the vulva without a specific localized spot.
On the other hand, Vestibulodynia is a subtype of vulvodynia. It is localized to the vestibule, the area surrounding the vaginal opening. This condition is often marked by pain or discomfort specifically in that area, which can be exacerbated by touch or pressure.
