It is usually recommended that you go to the hospital for a careful examination before making a conclusion. Let's take a look at what to do if you have vulva pain.

Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. Wash with warm water (do not add tap water) every day. If the itching is very severe, you can go to the supermarket to buy a wash (vaginal care liquid). Note that the wash should not be used every day. It can be used once to three times a week. After all, all medicines are toxic. Pay attention to the hygiene of underwear and wash them separately from clothes (especially socks) in separate basins. It is best to have a dedicated basin for washing underwear and genitals. It is best to change your underwear every one to two days. Drying in the sun can sterilize it.

Chronic vulvodynia is more common among women in their twenties and thirties. Symptoms include burning, itching, swelling, and stinging in the vagina and sometimes even pain around the rectum.

At present, our understanding of chronic vulvodynia is still very limited, therefore, gynecology has not yet established routine examination methods for chronic vulvodynia. Sometimes, inflammation of the vulva can be observed with the naked eye, but there are many problems that cannot be diagnosed by observing changes in the vulvar skin. Doctors generally use the method of elimination to analyze the causes of vulvar pain, such as whether the patient has a sexually transmitted disease, a skin disease, etc.

Pudendal nerve compression, also known as pudendal canal syndrome, is a rare cause of chronic pain in which the pudendal nerve in the pelvis becomes trapped or compressed. The pain is significant and worsens when sitting. Other symptoms include genital numbness, erectile dysfunction, and fecal and urinary incontinence. The pain is typically relieved by sitting and then relieved by standing, and disappears by lying down or sitting on the toilet. If the perineum pain is related to body position.

Vigorous and prolonged bicycle riding, especially with an improperly shaped or positioned bicycle seat, can also cause pudendalgia, which can eventually thicken the iliac tuberosity and iliospinous ligaments, trapping the pudendal nerve between the two and leading to PNE.
