Vulvodynia: Dismissed and undiagnosed: One group of women, with what is dubbed "vulvar vestibulitis syndrome," ; suffer pain just at the opening of their vaginas, usually only with physical contact. Vestibulitis tends to strike early in life, usually before 25, and because the pain is localized it is easier to diagnose, Dr. Gerulath says. More difficult to pinpoint is "generali zed vulvodynia,&qu ot; which causes burning pain in the entire vulva without any contact, sometimes 24 hours a day. This commonly starts between the ages of 35 and 44. Research has shown that all women with vulvodynia have a higher density of nerve endings in their vulvas. And scientists have documented genetic differences in women with vulvodynia that cause them to respond abnormally to infection and injury. For many women, an injury - say a chronic yeast infection or childbirth - sparks an immune- and nervous-system response that fails to turn off. The initial problem has disappeared, but their nerves continue to fire pain signals to their brains.
