Vulvar vestibulitis is a component of dysesthetic vulvodynia, a complex condition that requires careful assessment and individualized management. Typically, there is a cure for vulvar vestibulitis — it requires finding the right clinician who will be patient enough and knowledgeable enough to spend the time it may take to get to the root of the problem, and offer the intervention that will work best.
A vestibule is “an entrance to,” such as the entrance to your house, or in medical terms it may be the entrance to the ear (auricular vestibule), the mouth (oral vestibule), the nose (nasal vestibule), etc. The vulvar vestibule is that area of the female vulva (genitals) that is within the inner lips (labia minora) where the entrance to the urethra (the tube that leads to the bladder) and the vagina can be found.
