Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome - Inflammation around the "vestibule," or opening to the vagina. This condition may occur alone or in combination with other types of vulvar pain. Symptoms of vulvar vestibulitis include sensations of burning, dry, raw, or tight skin, and may range from mild to severe. Pain is usually caused by external touch, or by pressure caused by intercourse, tampon insertion, tight pants, bicycling or horseback riding. A minority of patients, however, may have symptoms without touching or pressure. Some patients with vulvar vestibulitis only have discomfort with intercourse. Others are uncomfortable on a daily basis and find it difficult to sit or walk. Some women cannot tolerate intercourse, while others can, although there is usually some degree of discomfort. Women with severe, enduring pain may develop vaginismus, which is a spasm of the pelvic floor muscles that makes intercourse or tampon insertion difficult or impossible.
