Vulvar and Vaginal Disorders

Many vulvar and vaginal issues often go unrecognized, ignored, or misdiagnosed. It’s important to understand that chronic irritation, itching, discomfort, or pain is not normal and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

Common Symptoms

  • Chronic irritation
  • Itching
  • Discomfort
  • Pain



If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek an evaluation to identify and address the underlying cause. In some cases, a biopsy may be necessary to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment.

Maintaining Vulvar and Vaginal Health

There are several steps you can take to maintain vulvar and vaginal health throughout your life:


  1. Avoid Irritating Products: Use gentle, fragrance-free products and avoid soaps and other irritating products in the vulvar area.
  2. Regular Checkups: Schedule regular gynecological exams to monitor and address any potential issues early.
  3. Manage Menopausal Changes: Treat the changes associated with menopause, such as vaginal dryness and thinning, to maintain comfort and health.
  4. Proper Diagnosis: Seek professional evaluation for any symptoms to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.
