Vulval Vestibulitis
The tissue in the inner aspect of the vulva is called the vestibule. This area has become nsitive to touch and friction. It may have been originally irritated by minor infection such as thrush. It is not due to an infection and will therefore not affect your partner.

1. A soap substitute – emulsifying ointment or aqueous cream, which you
accountmanagercan buy over the counter at a chemist’s shop. Do not u bubble baths or shampoo your hair in the bath. Avoid soap, disinfectants and deodorants in this area.
2. An anti-thrush, anti-inflammatory cream – Ketoconazole cream – is
applied twice daily to the vestibule for veral months.
3. A local anaesthetic to numb the area such as 5% Lignocaine ointment
or EMLA cream. This may be ud at any time and may be ud veral times a day. Do not u in the first 3 months of pregnancy and discuss using it in later pregnancy with your specialist.
4. An antihistamine may reduce the irritating chemicals that are relead
into the skin and may prove Hydroxyzine in a do of 25 – 50mg at night.
Finally, if all the measures fail or if you start to get pain or burning without touching the area (dysaesthetic vulvodynia), then
5. A tricyclic antidepressant is ud. This is normally ud for depressionflextronics
but it also has an effect on neuropathic pain (neuralgia) and it is therefore ud for many chronic pain syndromes in medicine. Small dos are ud initially and gradually incread until pain relief is achieved. Amitriptyline is the one most commonly ud and the starting do is 10mg nightly and each week the do is incread by an extra 10mg.

changelingAs there is no obvious cau for symptoms, it is difficult for many women (and some doctors) to understand the condition. There are many conditions that it is not! It is not infective, it is not related to cancer, it will not spread to other parts of your body and you will not pass it on to your partner.
The main way that the condition is managed is with creams in the first instance. There are many topical treatments available for u and you have probably tried many of them, however, many of them can be inappropriate as they are often prescribed for u to treat thrush. Some doctors will u different first line treatments. Here are a few suggested treatments;
Treatments available from your doctor.
Steroid creams are ud for other inflamed painful skin eczema. They vary in their strength with some being very strong (potent) and some less weak. Applying the cream must be to the vestibule area usually twice a day usually with a pea-sized amount. (You may want to u a mirror). They can only be ud for a certain length of time particularly the more potent steroids as with long term u they can cau the skin to become thinner and more susceptible to condary inf
thrush. Many women notice an instant irritation on application. This can resolve with time, however, if it continues it is best to stop and u one of the other creams. Steroid creams are best prescribed by your doctor.
Zinc oxide cream has been ud with variable success among women with vulval vestibulitis. Zinc application has been shown to reduce inflammation and increa healing in wounds and burns and it can be ud to ea and treat the inflammation associated with vulval vestibulitis.
Ketoconazole cream (Nizoral) has been shown to help women who suffer from vulval vestibulitis. Although it is an anti-yeast treatment, many women have benefitted. Treatments you can buy without prescription.
Aveeno (oatmeal) sitz baths are an alternative treatment available from most health shops without prescription. Place one sachet in the bath and bathe for 20 minutes. This can be repeated up to four times a day.
Calendula and hypercal creams are alternative, homeopathic treatments uful for treating sore and painful skin.
Indian teabags have been ud to calm the burning nsation that can accompany vulval vestibulitis. They contain tannic acid which is a local anaesthetic. The teabags can be placed in the bath or warm teabags can be placed on the vestibule at night.
Aqueous cream is a very bland plain ambulant (soothing cream) that is usually ud for treating cracked skin. It is perfume-free and is therefore less likely to irritate than the steroid creams. Many women gain benefit from u of this cream though as it soothes and rehydrates the skin. Some women keep the cream in the fridge as this helps even further. It can be ud indefinitely and as frequently as you like. It is available without a prescription.
Like any under-recognid condition, it is difficult to determine exactly how common it really is. Some work performed in America by a gynaecologist called Martha Goetsch, suggested that the condition is prent in up to 15% of women who attend outpatient departments with other conditions. In a recent survey of GP’s in the north of England, chronic vulval pain and soreness was extremely common with nearly 50% of GP’s eing one woman a month and 13% of GP’s eing one patient a week. This number of women is likely to be even greater as many women who have vulval vestibulitis will have been given an incorrect diagnosis (usually thrush) and therefore will be excluded from the figures. All evidence points to vulval vestibulitis (and vulval pain from other cau
s) being an extremely common under-diagnod problem.tracert读音
What caus it?
It is likely that a number of factors cau vulval vestibulitis, but often no identifiable cau can be found. Some women have sudden ont of symptoms following a specific event and this is commonly recognid as a vere attack of thrush followed by anti-thrush Canesten. Once the attack of thrush ttles following treatment, soreness and burning may persist as vestibulitis. Some women complain of vestibulitis following childbirth, or the u of certain bubble baths and soaps or with the u of antiptic in the Dettol. Where symptoms have gradually occurred over some time, even years, then it’s difficult to identify a cau. Some women with interstitial cystitis also suffer from the condition. The reasons why the two conditions are connected remains unknown.
