“Why am I experiencing pain?”
For vulva-owners, that can sometimes be a difficult question to answer as pelvic pain is a symptom of many different disorders related to female organs.
Here’s a quick snapshot of five different conditions that may result in pelvic pain:
What is adenomyosis?
Adenomyosis occurs when the tissues lining the inside of the uterus grow into the outer muscular wall of the uterus. This condition is more common among vulva-owners who have had children and usually resolves after menopause.
What is dyspareunia?
Dyspareunia is when pain is experienced during sexual intercourse. Many vulva-owners are led to believe that pain with sex is normal, but it is not. It is a medical condition that can be treated.
What is painful bladder syndrome?
Painful bladder syndrome (PBS), sometimes referred to as interstitial cystitis, is a chronic condition where there is frequency, pain, and even blood in urine. PBS is diagnosed when urinary tract infections and bladder cancer have been ruled out.
What is vulvodynia?
Vulvodynia is a nerve pain condition of the vulva. The pain can be anywhere on the vulva including the vestibule (entrance of the vagina), clitoris or superficial tissues. If the pain is constant or comes and goes with no connection to touch, the condition is called “spontaneous vulvodynia.”
What is genitourinary syndrome of menopause?
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is the thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls that may occur due to reduced estrogen levels after menopause. As such, this condition includes vaginal atrophy as well as accompanying urinary symptoms.
