Vestibulitis
Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (vvs), vestibulodynia, or simply vulvar vestibulitis is vulvodynia localized to the vulvar region. It tends to be associated with a highly localized “burning” or “cutting” type of pain. Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (vvs) is the most common subtype of vulvodynia that affects premenopausal women - the syndrome has been cited as affecting about 10%–15% of women.
