The ”V-Tongue Twisters”: Vulvodynia, Vestibulodynia and Vulvar Vestibulitis
Pain that occurs at the vestibule (the area just surrounding the vaginal entrance) is known as vestibulodynia. If this pain occurs only with touch or pressure, it is called ”provoked vestibulodynia”.

I’ve made an appointment – how do I prepare for it?
What would really help is to fill out the Confidential Vulvodynia Assessment Form. This will help me plan how best to approach the troubles you have been having, and will help the first session be as productive as possible.
I’m not sure I’m ready to make an appointment yet.
Most women who come to see me confide somewhere towards the end of the appointment that they felt apprehensive about coming. That’s normal! Please be assured I have treated so many other women like you. There is very little you can tell me that I haven’t already heard!
If you can’t come in for an appointment, or aren’t ready, there is still a lot you can do to help yourself.
