Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome

The presence of severe pain on pressing or touching the vestibule of the vagina or on attempted vaginal entry. Physical findings of localized erythema are limited to the mucosa of the vestibule. Although the etiology is unknown, the syndrome often develops in women who have intractable moniliasis or who are receiving long-term antibiotic therapy. No therapy, including vesti-bulectomy, has been 100% effective.
